OERPScenario : The simple way to write test scenario for OpenERP

Friday, October 30th, 2009 by Joël Grand-Guillaume

Hi !

After making hundreds of checklists and manual testings, our team decided to create a tool which allows users to write test scenario for OpenERP. It’s just a Beta version for now, but we’re convinced that it will improve the global performance of OpenERP. This tool allows users to launch a set of functional tests on a specific OpenERP server and to get a result for each test in pdf, html, junit or text format.

See the html example here : http://dev.camptocamp.com/files/OERPScenario/result.html

This project is developed with the Ruby language and the cucumber library.

A few words on our choice:
• It’s separated from OpenObject, so bugs won’t affect it
• Business specialists can write tests without any technical knowledge
• Fully integrated with Ruby (it will allow us at one point to release a Web-interface)
• Modular and very easy to learn and to contribute to
• Rails compatible
• Ruby rocks !
With additional new tests, we hope that we’ll be able to avoid most critical regressions in the near future.

Feel free to make comments and contributions to this project : https://launchpad.net/oerpscenario


Regards,
Joël Grand-Guillaume

Camptocamp improve the Swiss localization (l10n_ch) / Camptocamp améliore la localisation Suisse (l10n_ch)

Monday, October 26th, 2009 by Joël Grand-Guillaume

** (French part below) **

Hi all !

I have the pleasure to announce that Camptocamp released improvements to the OpenERP official Swiss localization module (l10n_ch). Remember that Camptocamp is the official developer and maintainer of this localization!

This module includes:

  • Full BVR support to generate electronic invoices in Switzerland
  • Import of standardized bank V11 files  from Swiss bank into OpenERP
  • Electronic payments via DTA (specific electronic payments used by Swiss banks)

This new release includes the following improvements:

  • DTA generation file : avoids encoding errors (thanks for contributions)
  • Support of old BVR references
  • Temporary solution for the non functional expr tag in the RML
  • Temporary solution for the missing ocrb file
  • Easy insertion of fields on the res.partner.bank view : allows to choose what to print on BVRs
  • Support on error messages translation
  • Addition of last translations from Launchpad

Note:  OpenERP still has trouble with payment orders in foreign currency; this affects also the DTA payments into our Swiss localization.

Best regards,

Joël Grand-Guillaume

MapFish at Foss4G: Day 4

Friday, October 23rd, 2009 by Cédric Moullet

Last day at Foss4G:
- It started early by a presentation of GeoBretagne from Eric and Claude: MapFish in a java environment for SDI based on OWS.
- Geoprisma has been introduced and we have to follow this tool used for the securization of SDI infrastructure.
- Overcrowded rooms for the MapFish (presentation) and GeoExt (presentation) presentations.
- MapServer vs GeoServer: advantage to MapServer

Picture of yesterday’s MapFish BOF (summary of the BOF)

And an encouraging graph at the end: the frequentation of the MapFish website:

MapFish at Foss4G: Day 3

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 by Cédric Moullet

Interesting day today. We have seen a fast growing interest for GeoExt: the tutorial was overcrowded.
Otherwise, on the presentations side, some news:
- Ingres wants to support spatial data for end of 2010. We’ll see…
- Tim Schaub’s presentation about OpenLayers was just perfect (The main point is summarized by Erilem’s statement on twitter: no longer use Layer.GML and Layer.WFS, use Layer.Vector, Format, Protocol and Strategy)
- We can’t expect MapServer to support WFS-T (this is because of its architecture, according to the presenters)
- Otherwise, PostGIS continues its succesful way

We finally made a very interesting BOF about MapFish. If you want to know more, don’t miss the discussion on the mailing list.

And of course, I have to mention the nice cruise at the end of the day ;-)

MapFishAPI: what’s that ?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 by Cédric Moullet

There is tree ideas behind MapFishAPI:
- Offer the possibility to integrate MapFish applications inside other applications (for example, a CMS).
- Offer the possibility to create permalinks on the MapFish application level.
- Offer high level functions

You can see some demonstrations of these capabilities here:
- On the left, you have first accordion with a geonames search
- Then, you can see a permalink accordion
- And a third accordion containing a tool to generate the API code that can be integrated in other applications.

If you need more documentation, follow these linkes:
- Tutorial: http://www.mapfish.org/doc/contribs/mapfishapi.html
- Class documentation: http://www.mapfish.org/apidoc/api/files/mapfish_api-js.html
- Source code: http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/browser/contribs/mapfish-api/trunk

MapFish at Foss4G: Day 2

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 by Cédric Moullet

After the very, very impressive presentation of Paul Ramsey:

here are my highlights of the day:
- Cloud computing: the future way of distributing geodata. Bastian Schaeffer made a nice explanation of Amazon and Google App Engine service and Claude presented the map.veloland.ch case study
- GeoCouch: maybe the geospatial database of the future, at least for web
- WPS plattform: Zoo project, mainly the server for now. Probably with a GeoExt client soon ;-)
