Welcome to ForgeBox!  ForgeBox is our new project completely online that will serve the ColdBox community.  ForgeBox is a repository for code entries that spawn from anything ColdBox (plugins, interceptors, apps, code, etc) to anything CodexWiki (plugins, interceptors, parsers, themes, etc).  Not only that, it leverages our latest ColdBox 3.0 features, built in exactly 3 days thanks to ColdBox and Transfer.  Please also remember that we have our own ColdBox Community development space that you can take advantage off.  We can host your projects if you need in git or svn and even have tons of collaboration tools.  Just send us an email at info@coldbox.org and we will create the account for you.  You can then start rocking with ColdBox!

ForgeBox also sports a cool REST API service and of course, in our documentation tradition, fully documented using our new wiki.  Again, we are slowly migrating our documentation to our new wiki, but we will get there soon.

So what can you do with ForgeBox? Well, first of all, register your account with us and start contributing your code.  You can then also get funky and start building interfaces, iphone apps, or whatever you like with our REST API.  At the moment, our API is very basic, but it will grow as usage increases and we add more features.

Also, please free to enter your feedback about ForgeBox and how it can be improved!  And no kidding, I built it in about 3 days, ColdBox to the max!!

Ease of use, reliability and versatility were the cornerstones of the ForgeBox development.

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.
