What’s New in TestBox v6.0

This major release introduces exciting updates to elevate your testing workflow

1. Full Support for BoxLang

With version 6.0, TestBox now fully supports BoxLang, our cutting-edge programming language. Developers can now write tests, specs, and harnesses directly in BoxLang, ensuring seamless integration with modern coding practices. This support helps streamline your testing environment and maximizes productivity.

2. BoxLang CLI Runner

The new BoxLang CLI Runner is designed to simplify how you run specs and bundles. You no longer need to rely on a web server; the CLI can handle it all, making testing faster and more efficient.

3. Dynamic Project Detection and Testing Modules

TestBox’s CLI now automatically detects BoxLang projects, reducing setup time and ensuring smoother operations. We’ve also introduced the bx-web-support module, enabling headless web server testing to broaden your testing capabilities.

4. Cleaner and More Dynamic Assertions

To improve the readability and efficiency of your tests, TestBox 6.0 includes dynamic assertion methods. This feature allows for a cleaner test-writing process, making it easier to maintain and understand your test cases.

5. Environment Helpers and Debugging Enhancements

We’ve added new environment helpers and display name annotations, making it simpler to organize and identify tests. We’ve also enhanced debugging and matcher functions, giving developers more precise control and insight into their tests.
