[RFC] adding test framework

[legalsylvain]

Hi all,

Is your feature request related to a problem?

we regurlarly needs to makes python test, regarding PoS. for exemple, https://github.com/OCA/pos/blob/12.0/pos_session_closing_stock_error/tests/test_pos.py by @ivantodorovich, https://github.com/OCA/pos/blob/12.0/pos_multiple_control/tests/test_pos_multiple_control.py#L10 by @quentinDupont and Me.
The test are very verbose. It requires lot of lines of code, just to open a session, make a sale, add payment, etc... and it's quite a mess.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a module pos_test_framework, that could provide test function like def open_session(), def sale(product=False, qty=False), def close_session(), etc... and make new modules, in V15 depends on that module.
We could also provide helper also for js scripts.

Thanks for your point of view.

It may make sense for older odoo versions, but testing the pos is getting easier and easier.
For >= 15.0 is actually pretty straightforward IMO.

You're right. seems that there is PoS Test framework in new version, so maybe it's obsolete.
I'll develop some module for V16. I'll think if it's interesting to have extra OCA framework, or not.

thanks.

Note : could you take a look on #811 ?
