With its robust HMVC architecture and developer-friendly tools, ColdBox 7 enables developers to deliver high-performance, scalable, and maintainable web applications and APIs with ease.

We are excited to announced the release of Testbox version 5, which brings a host of new features and improvements for developers. TestBox is a powerful and flexible tool that helps developers write comprehensive BDD/TDD tests for their applications, ensuring code quality and reducing the likelihood of bugs and errors. With TestBox v5, developers can take advantage of new features such as batch code coverage testing, improved reporting capabilities, method spies, and better integration with other tools in the Ortus suite.

These new features make TestBox even more versatile and user-friendly, and provide developers with a powerful tool for building high-quality, reliable applications.

We're excited to unveil our latest **TestBox CLI ** tool! This robust command-line interface is specifically crafted to assist developers in streamlining their workflows and enhancing their TestBox BDD/TDD development process. Boasting an intuitive syntax and potent functionalities, the TestBox CLI tool empowers developers to create, test, and generate reports on their ColdFusion (CFML) application

We are thrilled to announce the release of our new ColdBox CLI tool! This powerful command-line interface is designed to help developers streamline their workflows and simplify their ColdBox development experience. With its intuitive syntax and powerful capabilities, the ColdBox CLI tool allows developers to easily create, test, and deploy ColdBox applications with just a few simple commands. Whether you are a seasoned ColdBox developer or just getting started with this powerful framework, the ColdBox CLI tool is the perfect addition to your toolkit.

This tool used to be embedded in the CommandBox core, but it now has a new home (https://github.com/ColdBox/coldbox-cli) and can have it's own life-cycles including LTS support for our ColdBox Framework as well.
