This Master Class will be held over two days: Tuesday, September 16th and Wednesday, September 17th.
Entrance to this Master Class includes breakfast, lunch and drinks during the two days.

This Master Class is divided in four subjects : Architecture, performance, testing, and security.

Prerequisites 

A laptop running any Linux flavor, with an up-to-date Python and PostgreSQL.
Familiarity with Odoo’s development environment is recommended, but not mandatory.
For unit tests: basic knowledge of Python and/or JavaScript.
For performance: basic knowledge of Python, SQL and command line.
For deployment: basic knowledge of networking and Linux sysadmin.

Who should attend? 

This Master Class is ideal for developers, testers, and QA engineers working with Odoo, or anyone interested in gaining expertise in testing methodologies tailored to Odoo’s architecture. 
The class will blend theory and hands-on exercises, ensuring you leave with actionable insights to improve the quality of your Odoo applications.

Architecture and performance:

This part of the Master Class is designed to give you the guidelines to deploy an Odoo instance. 
From the smallest one to bigger ones, and covering subjects like horizontal scaling, vertical scaling, multi-tenant infrastructure, as well as the various layers involved in an Odoo infrastructure. 
Once deployed, you’ll be taught various methodologies to handle performance issues in an Odoo instance, from good practices during coding to issues root cause identifications.

Testing :

This Master Class is designed to equip developers and QA engineers with the knowledge and practical skills required to effectively test applications and features in the Odoo ecosystem. Whether you're a beginner or experienced in testing, this part will help you understand the core principles and advanced techniques for writing and running unit and integration tests in Odoo, and ensure code quality and reliability.

What you will learn in the testing part: 

• Unit Testing vs. Tours:

Understand the difference between unit tests and integration tests (a.k.a. tours) in the Odoo ecosystem. Identify when to use each and how to structure your test suites for optimal coverage and maintainability.

• Odoo CLI:

Learn how to execute tests directly from the command line, specify test modules or files, and configure database settings for isolated environments.
Discover advanced CLI options, such as enabling debug modes, using specific configurations, and running individual tours, making the testing process faster and more efficient.

• Unit Testing:

Learn how to write unit tests for the server using Python’s built-in testing framework. Understand the importance of mocking, patching, and database isolation in the context of Odoo.
Explore how to test frontend components and features, with a focus on Odoo’s unique framework. Gain hands-on experience in testing web components, views, and other frontend features.

• Tours:

Discover the power of Odoo tours to simulate user interactions in a browser. Learn how to create and debug complex workflows, involving both the server and frontend components.
Get introduced to the Tour Recorder, an essential tool for automating the creation of tours by capturing user interactions. Learn how to refine recorded tours for maximum efficiency and robustness.

Security:

This topic of the Master Class empowers you to identify and address common security vulnerabilities in Odoo development. Learn secure coding practices, how to protect sensitive data, and strategies to prevent common threats like SQL injection or improper access control. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll gain practical skills to ensure a secure and robust Odoo application.
