Introduction

TestBox is a next-generation testing framework based on BDD (Behavior Driven Development) and TDD (Test Driven Development), providing a clean, obvious syntax for writing tests.

TestBox BDD v6.x

TestBox is a next-generation testing framework for the JVM language and ColdFusion (CFML) based on (Behavior Driven Development) for providing a clean, obvious syntax for writing tests. It contains not only a testing framework, console/web runner, assertions, and expectations library but also ships with MockBox, A mocking and stubbing companion.

class{

  function run(){
  	describe( "My calculator features", () => {
	
		beforeEach( () => {
			variables.calc = new Calculator()
		} )
			
		// Using expectations library
		it( "can add", () => {
			expect( calc.add(1,1) ).toBe( 2 )
		} )
		
		// Using assert library
		test( "it can multiply", () => {
			assertIsEqual( calc.multiply(2,2), 4 )
		} )
	} )
  }

}

/**
 * My calculator features
 */
class{

	property calc;
	
	function setup(){
	    calc = new Calculator()
	}
	
	// Function name includes the word 'test'
	// Using expectations library
	function testAdd(){
	    expect( calc.add(1,1) ).toBe( 2 )
	}
		
	// Any name, but with a test annotation
	// Using assertions library
	@test
	function itCanMultiply(){
	    $assert.isEqual( calc.multiply(2,2), 4 )
	}
}

component{

  function run(){
  	describe( "My calculator features", () => {
	
		beforeEach( () => {
			variables.calc = new Calculator()
		} );
			
		// Using expectations library
		it( "can add", () => {
			expect( calc.add(1,1) ).toBe( 2 )
		} );
		
		// Using assert library
		test( "it can multiply", () => {
			$assert.isEqual( calc.multiply(2,2), 4 )
		} );
	} );
  }

}

Features At A Glance

Here is a simple listing of features TestBox brings to the table:

BDD style or xUnit style testing
Testing life-cycle methods
Mocking data library for mocking JSON/complex data and relationships
Ability to extend and create custom test runners and reporters
Extensible reporters, bundled with tons of them:
- JSON
- XML
- JUnit XML
- Text
- Console
- Simple HTML
- Min - Minimalistic Heaven
- Raw
- CommandBox
Asynchronous testing
Multi-suite capabilities
Test skipping
Test labels and tagging
Testing debug output stream
Much more!

Versioning

<major>.<minor>.<patch>

And constructed with the following guidelines:

bumpBreaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
New additions without breaking backward compatibility bump the minor (and resets the patch)
Bug fixes and misc changes bump the patch
