We are proud to finally release version 1.0.0 of CFConfig.  This library has been in development for nearly two years (20 months) and has had over 100 alpha releases!  CFConfig is already in use for production deploys, development setups and in the Ortus Docker Image.  CFConfig is a CLI tool built upon a set of services that can manage the configuration of your Adobe, Lucee, and Railo servers so you never have to manually setup a server again. 

CFConfig has been a huge effort and has received more pull requests than most of our projects for the time it has existed.  A big shout out goes to the CFML Community for coming together to help make CFConfig a reality.  We've had 12 contributors and over 30 pull requests! Contributors include:

  • Brad Wood
  • Ben Ferdinandus
  • Mark Drew
  • Joe Gooch
  • John Berquist
  • Gary Stanton
  • Matthew Clemente
  • Shane Austin
  • Eric Peterson
  • Israel Urguiza
  • Pete Freitag
  • Tim Brown
  • Andrew Davis

Inherited a CFML Application With Few Tests? Here’s Where to Start!

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.
