ColdBox 8.2.0: Middleware, Streaming, AI Gateways, and a Whole Lot More

ColdBox 8.2.0 is the result of work we started in March. Several of its headline features, including route-scoped middleware and Server-Sent Events, were incubated for months before shipping. We held them back on purpose: we wanted the APIs settled, the edge cases covered, and the testing story complete before asking you to build on them. They're ready now.

Assert Like You Mean It, TestBox 7.1 Part 1: Set Expectations

Assert Like You Mean It, TestBox 7.1 Part 1: Set Expectations

If you have ever tested that two collections contain "the same stuff, order doesn't matter," you already know the workaround: sort both arrays, compare them element by element, and hope nobody adds a duplicate. It works, but it isn't what you meant to write. You meant "these are the same set."

Is Your QA Process Ready for Your Next ColdFusion or BoxLang Release?

Is Your QA Process Ready for Your Next ColdFusion or BoxLang Release?

As applications continue to evolve, QA can easily become reactive. Teams may test late in the development process, focus only on happy-path scenarios, repeat manual checks, or rely on AI-generated changes without fully validating the results. ​ These gaps can create risks that are not always visible until they affect users, disrupt operations, or require costly fixes in production.
