[Zierp-developer] functional requirements

[Stins, D. www.Zion-IT.c. <DR...@Zi...>]

ThaniX,

I like your ideas.

The web erp manual is valid. The current software is an unchanged fork of
web-erp 2.9b except for the theme and some bug fixes.

Can you and Patrick work this out until we are able to create a planning for
writing functional requirements with the goal to enable excellent testing?

With best regards,

Dick Stins

        So, let us create the documentation first. "functionality of
the system" as said above,  I presume, is with respect to the "ERP
knowledge".  Is it not?   If it is so, let us look at the already
available ERP software around and get it from them, I examined a few
"ERP5.org" is one and major of them. Unfortunately, the "all about
ERP" manual was in french, some of you might be able to use it.

         Part one, would be the documentation/system plan  given by
the developers of the system. Part two, for all testing purposes, we
require domain knowledge and the requirements that the project is
supposed to meet (that would be requirements specification by the
users). Is there a requirements document available?

       If Part two documentation is not available, we would require
part one. What I wanted to know is:  "Is the webERP manual sufficient
for this purpose?"  or should we require tailoring it to the zierp?

       To get a clue on how things are supposed to work, do we need to
find a roundabout way?  Download some of the available ERP software
and start using it. May be we can, then proceed further. :)

Thanks & Regards,
