unit testing, MXUnit, and CFWheels

[Mike Henke]

In Chris's post, he mentioned maybe eventually unit testing.

MXUnit has a Unit Test Generator that maybe something to look into.

We're well on the path to using RocketUnit:
http://rocketunit.riaforge.org/

It probably won't be available for use within your applications in 1.0, but I suspect that we'll have much of the core framework tested with it.

RocketUnit looks interesting. I haven't heard of it before.

I wonder if MXunit might be a better fit for it's features like a
plugin for Eclipse http://www.mxunit.org/doc/index.cfm?doc=whymxunit

i think the best thing about using rokectunit is that it's included in
wheels and you don't have to download an entire other framework to do
unit testing in your app. currently all you have to do is create a
tests folder, write your tests and click a link to run them. no
eclipse plugins, installing something else, configuring your cf server
or anything like that, it just all works out of the box. yes i know
the testing framework isn't included in the releases right now, but
we're because we're still ironing things out and trying to get an easy
way down for developers to write tests.

you can always download the latest trunk which has the testing
framework in it from here:

http://github.com/rip747/cfwheels/zipball/master

the instruction for writing and running your own unit test are
documented in our wiki:

any suggestions or comment that you can provide or more then welcome.
