TestBox is a next-generation testing framework for ColdFusion (CFML) based on BDD (Behavior Driven Development) for providing a clean, obvious syntax for writing tests. It contains not only a testing framework, runner, assertions, and expectations library but also ships with MockBox, A mocking and stubbing companion. It also supports the xUnit style of testing and MXUnit compatibilities.
Here is a simple listing of features TestBox brings to the table:
- BDD style testing
- xUnit style testing
- Code Coverage via FusionReactor
- Testing life-cycle methods
- Ability to extend and create custom test runners
- Ability to extend and create custom test reporters
- Extensible reporters, bundled with tons of them:
- JSON
- XML
- JUnit 4 XML
- Text (80's style)
- Console
- Simple HTML
- Min - Minimalistic Heaven
- Raw
- CommandBox
- Asynchronous testing
- Multi-suite capabilities
- Test skipping
- Suite skipping
- Dynamic skipping support via runtime executions
- Test one or more suites exclusively
- Test one or more tests/specs exclusively
- Test labels and tagging
- Testing debug output stream
- Clickable suite titles to filter test execution
- Much more!
TestBox is maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible. Releases will be numbered in the following format:
<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
