I had a job interview this morning, I passed the technology review, and I think that I got the job. They told me to learn about unit tests. What is unit testing in ColdFusion? How do I get started with it?

Hi John.. here are the testbox docs. It should give you some direction in unit testing cfml. https://cfdocs.org/testbox

search for the free videos on cfcasts.com - I found 4 that you introduce you to testing with testbox

Also, join the #testing channel!

Hope you get the job

@chapmandu thanks so much for the link to the testbox docs. I am taking a look now.

Lucee has a lot of tests, there are links from each documentation page for tags and functions to search for tests which include that tag or function

Also don't confuse "unit testing" with "TestBox". Learning how to use a testing framework is not going to teach you unit testing. However there is an near endless supply of docs and tutorials out there. And as Sean said: there's a testing channel here. If you are just starting out and haven't already inherited less-than-ideal testing practices from elsewhere, I recommend starting by reading up on TDD even the wiki article is a good start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development. If you test first you will design better code. Also read up on BDD as well, which is complementary to TDD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior-driven_development

@Adam Cameron thanks so much for your detailed reply! I am just getting started with unit tests, so thanks so much for the description of what it is and the links. I have some reading to do. Thanks again!
