Jason Dean has started a very nice, concise and well documented tutorial series on using ColdBox. I have added his series to the ColdBox wiki also. This is a great resource, so keep up the good work Jason!!

TestBox 7.2 Real Browser Testing, Smarter Reports, and Agent-Ready Results
Ortus Solutions today announces the general availability of TestBox 7.2, the biggest TestBox release in years. Built on the new bx-playwright 1.0 module, BoxLang specs can now drive a real browser, assert with web-first matchers that wait until they pass, and keep the screenshots, traces and videos of every failure. Around it, TestBox gains spec retries, a Run Failed option, a rebuilt set of HTML reporters with Ask AI on every failure, and a new Agent reporter that lets AI agents read a test run at minimal token cost.
