Adaptation
Configuration
Extension
Customization
Best practices: Extend, don’t customize
Page 9Modularity Status Update -Extension Module Webinar-Openbravo, Ismael Ciordia
If you need to customize:
1) Contribute fixes
2) Work with us to refactor core
3) Don't do it
Best practices: Extend, don’t customize

Leverage on Application Dictionary as much as possible:
1) Faster development
2) Guaranteed quality
3) Much better life cycle
Best Practices
Page 11Modularity Status Update -Extension Module Webinar-Openbravo, Ismael Ciordia
Avoid conflicts in future:
1) Register your modules
2) Use the Forge
Best Practices
3) Use Dev – Test – Prod

How to address an implementation:
1) Split the Functional Gap into small but meaningful Extension Modules
2) Usually there will be Customization Module
