Inherited a CFML Application With Few Tests? Here’s Where to Start!
You need to change an application that has been running for years.
It might be a ColdFusion customer portal, a Lucee application supporting internal operations, or a CFML system your team is preparing to modernize. People depend on it, but some of its behavior lives in old tickets, scattered documentation, and the memory of whoever has supported it longest.
Now a release is approaching. You know more testing would help. The difficult part is deciding where to begin without putting every other priority on hold.
Start with one important workflow and build evidence around what it needs to do.

Your ColdFusion Upgrade Passed. Did Your Business Workflows?
The server restarted. The administrator shows the expected version. Your homepage loads, and a few familiar screens look fine.
Would you tell the business the upgrade is complete?
Consider an illustrative scenario: a customer submits an order after an upgrade. The application saves it and displays a confirmation page. But the confirmation email never arrives, and the scheduled process that sends the order to fulfillment has not completed.

Luis,
Great Preso last night.. I'm looking forward to playing with CB more in the coming weeks..
I downloaded last nights' RC 2 release and launched the dashboard .. in the docs you have the default password to coldbox but I'm not able to login.. I have ColdBox directory sitting on C:inetpubframeworkscoldbox (with cf mapping to that directory) and the dashboard in the C:inetpubwwwrootdashboard folder..
any help would be greatly appreaciated..
Thanks...

HI Phil,
That should be the password. However, you can manually change it by do the following:
Open the config/settings.xml.cfm and locate the password hash. You can change the hash by using the hash method in CF and the algorithm
So try it out.

I second the comments. It was an amazing presentation of a framework, I almost passed up. I will be definitely be installing it and giving it a whirl. It seems to solve some of my issues with MG and seems easier to have an easier learning curve (especially with your documentation OCD). Thanks for all the hard work.

Hi Luis,
Nice presentation....
Is it possible if you do a more advance level of presentation, to cover caching, interceptors, decorator, coldboxproxy.
ColdBox documentation is too good.
Again thanks for all your hard work and offering incredible toolkit ( coldbox ).
Many Thanks
