TESTING

ColdBox is the ONLY CFML framework that offers integration and behavior-driven testing through TestBox. By using TestBox, developers can automate tests in order to ensure that the code they write is functioning as expected.

This can save a significant amount of time and effort in the long run, as issues can be caught and fixed before they become major problems.

In addition, ColdBox allows developers to test their applications without even using a browser, which can be a huge advantage in speed and convenience. By using ColdBox with TestBox, developers can streamline their workflow and ensure that their code is robust and reliable.
