We are proud to announce MockBox 2.0. This new version of MockBox sports out great new mocking capabilities that will make you want to mock immediately. You can read our What's new with MockBox 2.0 to get a better idea of this release.

Below are the major areas we concentrated in this release:

 

 

Fixes

  • Updates for ColdBox 3.5.3 integrations

Enhancements

  • New mocking method: $getProperty(name, scope) that allows you to retrieve any private variable in any scope.
  • createStub() has been expanded so you can pass in an argument called extends so it can create the stub by extending it from a real class. This allows you to do real type check stubs and also simulated stubs.
  • createStub() has been expanded so you can pass in an argument called implements so it can create the stub by actually implementing 1 or more interfaces on demand. MockBox will then create the stub and generate all the necessary methods to satisfy all the interfaces so you can mock with elegance!

Reactive vs Proactive ColdFusion Support: Why Waiting for an Outage Is the Most Expensive Strategy

Reactive vs Proactive ColdFusion Support: Why Waiting for an Outage Is the Most Expensive Strategy

Many ColdFusion environments operate in a reactive mode without realizing it.

Everything seems fine… until something breaks.

A server crashes.

Performance drops suddenly.

An integration stops working.

A security audit reveals missing patches.

At that point the response is urgent:

“Can someone help us fix this now?”

Emergency support is sometimes unavoidable. But when reactive intervention becomes the norm, it usually means something deep...
