Software Testing at Odoo

Odoo is a highly-configurable web-based ERP for various management tasks (CRM, inventory management, sales, invoicing, etc.) for small and medium-sized businesses. Odoo is developed mainly in Python and Javascript. This project will involve working with Odoo developers on one of the following topics at the intersection of Continuous Integration and Software Testing.

Software testing exercises gamification

The new Verification and Validation (V&V) course includes exercise sessions in which students write tests for small Java programs. These exercises use Andy to receive feedback in the form of coverage indicators, mutation score and number of successful meta-tests.

Towards user-friendly fuzzers

Fuzz testing, or simply fuzzing, is an automated testing technique aiming at discovering bugs or vulnerabilities of software systems by providing random, invalid, or potential harmful input data. Fuzzing is a black-box testing technique, as typically, fuzzers, i.

Impacts and challenges of integrating a test generator into a CI/CD pipeline

This thesis investigates the impacts and challenges of integrating CLING, a test generator for Java, into CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipelines. In a context where test automation is essential to ensure software quality, CLING generates integration tests automatically.

A mixed-reality application for code comprehension

Learning to program, and especially understanding it, is a difficult task for newcomers. For this rea- son, aids are provided, such as IDEs, which give them tools to help them avoid syntax and/or semantic errors, depending on the programming languages used.

Aladdin: Using natural language to facilitate open data visualisation

This dissertation explores the impact of using natural language in the visualisation of open datasets, focusing on the design and evaluation of Aladdin, a system based on the DSR approach. Aladdin uses advanced natural language processing techniques to transform text queries into interactive data visualisations.

Precise Feedback for a Precise Algorithm: Improving the User Experience on YouTube

Amid growing concern over filter bubbles and content diversity, this thesis explores the impact of feedback mechanisms on user experience with YouTube’s recommendation algorithm. The study examines how increased user control can influence their interactions with the algorithm.

TesArt: Testing for digital art

The goal of the thesis is to devise an approach for automated test execution for digital performances developed using creative coding.

Using the Language Server Protocol to create a mobile, ergonomic code editor

This master thesis investigates how the Language Server Protocol (LSP) can be used to develop a nomad and ergonomic code editor. Mobile devices popularity has significantly increased in the past decade, strengthening the transformation of desktop solutions to mobile ones.

Fuzzing highly-configurable Web user interface: a Odoo case study

Since many years, Odoo, a company providing business management services, is constantly expanding its scope and developing the complexity of its software, a web application. In response to that complexity, the introduction of automated testing techniques seems to be the next evolution of the testing tools already available to them.
