Introducing TestBox v6.0.0
TestBox 6.x is a major update to the testing framework, introducing key improvements like full support for BoxLang. With this release, users can write tests, specs, and harnesses directly in BoxLang. A new BoxLang CLI runner simplifies running specs and bundles without needing a web server. Additionally, the CLI now detects BoxLang projects, adds headless web server testing with the bx-web-support module, and includes dynamic assertion methods for cleaner test writing. Significant new features include environment helpers, display name annotations, and improved debugging and matcher functions.
