With the advent of ColdBox 2.0.1 you are now able to unit test your event handlers, plugins, etc. I just completed a step by step guide on how to do this with the provided source in the bundle.

Building Native CLI Apps with MatchBox & Native Fusion
MatchBox makes BoxLang practical for a classic deployment target: the single-file command-line application.
The MatchBox open beta is available at https://github.com/ortus-boxlang/matchbox.
With the MatchBox native target, you can compile a .bxs script into a standalone executable for macOS, Linux, or Windows. The generated binary includes the MatchBox VM core and your compiled BoxLang bytecode. It does not require a JVM, a separate MatchBox install, or any runtime on the target machine.
