This Wiki is read-only for reference purposes to avoid broken links.

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

To come to an understanding of a scope, it is best to grasp where we are and where we want to go.

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 method beyond Standard Costing.
• In developing methods like Average Costing, e-Evolution has proposed that a complete writing of it is necessary.
• Thus the Sponsored Development: Libero Cost Engine is born.

Dictionary or Terms

• Costing Method - Standard, Average, FIFO, LIFO.
