Into the Box 2020 can’t come soon enough! To prepare, we asked our speakers to share a little bit more about their lives and experiences so that we can get to know them better…
 
Meet Colombian Javier Quintero. When he was a child, he waited in line for almost two hours to get into a roller coaster and when it was his turn, he got scared and left! The Ortus developer is a fan of all things Box, but his favorite without a doubt, is ColdBox. When asked why he responded: “It has everything we need to develop any type of app. Everything is inbuilt and it has great performance. So easy to learn, very flexible and adaptable to meet our needs.” 
 
Javier will be leading the “Just Do It! ColdBox Integration Testing” session on May 7th from 3:10 PM until 4:00 PM and the “cbSecurity - Secure All Things Box!” session on May 8th from 3:10 PM until 4:00 PM. Make sure you don’t miss his sessions as they are not only relevant, but also key for any developer. As to why, he said: “believe it or not, more than 50% of developers don't write tests because they think they are complex and will take forever to implement. I will show how to easily create unit and integration tests using TestBox.” 
 
Into the Box will give attendees the opportunity to chat with speakers one-on-one. Javier is looking forward “to learning new stuff and have nice conversations about CFML and web development in general with the attendees that always have something  of value to share.”

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?

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.

From the browser, the transaction...
