Description

I recently started working on a custom module for Odoo 18.0. And while attempting to create unit tests for my Javascript files by following the testing guide, I realized that the documentation is out of date and doesn't match at all the test runner served on /web/test.

Basically I noticed that the documentatin still describes QUnit, while this version of Odoo (18.0) uses the new Hoot framework.
The only mention of the Hoot framework I found was from this talk.

So when would documentation for Hoot be coming for Odoo's docs, and is QUnit still usable on 18.0?

Research direction

Start with the linked Odoo JavaScript testing guide and compare its QUnit instructions with the test runner available at /web/test in Odoo 18.0. Verify the issue's questions about Hoot and QUnit, then update the documentation so the current test workflow and framework status are clear.
