Much work and dedication has gone by these past few months in order to bring you the final release of TestBox v1.0.0.  For those of you that do not know what TestBox is, TestBox is a next generation testing framework for ColdFusion that is based on BDD (Behavior Driven Development) for providing a clean obvious syntax for writing tests. It contains not only a testing framework, runner, assertions and expectations library but also integrates with MockBox, our  mocking and stubbing library. It also supports xUnit style of testing and MXUnit compatibilities.  You can read much more detail about the release from our engineering blog and give TestBox a spin from our main downloads page.

Start with one important workflow and build evidence around what it needs to do.
