Relax version 2.2.0, for Coldbox, is now available and includes a number of bug fixes and improvements. Relax, aptly subtitled "RESTful tools for lazy experts", is a Coldbox module, which makes it easy for developers to conduct modeling, documentation and testing for their RESTful APIs. The easiest way to get started with Relax is by installing it via CommandBox from the root of your ColdBox application:


box install relax

Once Relax is installed, an example API is available to help you get started. Additional documentation is also available. To upgrade your existing installation of Relax, simply run:


box update relax

Happy coding!

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?
