Introduction
- Testing is vital and crucial as software death can happen.
- Firstly we write out a feature specifications within a test plan.
- Then we examine the best tools for a test suite.
- Fitnesse is one such tool already explored by Carlos Ruiz and Ivan Calderon's team at Interopen.
- Fitnesse expands the concept of testing to be more bazaar like and allow anyone out there to test easily, diversely and constantly.
Scope Deliberation
General Proposition of an ERP
- The essence of a modern ERP today lies in its Financials Integration.
- The core of that is the Costing Engine that fulfills advanced Cost Accounting requirements.
- A Costing Engine is a highly challenging module to develop and even SAP cannot perfectly resolve all scenarios.
- ADempiere seeks to resolve the most common terms of advanced use, such as Average Costing with Average Invoicing, FiFO and LiFO.
State of Affairs
- Compiere, which ADempiere inherits from does not have a complete costing feature beyond Standard Costing.
- In developing Average Costing, e-Evolution has proposed that a complete writing of it is necessary.
