I use a modified version of the test harness that came with one of the
Macromedia CF Development Resource Kits (4 or 5?). I think it is
quite similar to cfcunit.
It is quite handy. You extend a base TestCase cfc and define
functions that begin with the word "Test" and at the end of the
function you call a function in TestCase that determines whether the
test passed or failed (e.g. AssertTrue(Len(LastName) GT 0, "Last name
is zero-length).
You can your test CFC through the browser and you get nice output of
each test function and whether it passed or failed along with any
relevant error messages. You group TestCase's together by extending a
TestSuite.cfc.
I have a large CFC-based survey app with a test case CFC for most of
the model components. There are about 450 test functions in all. It
takes about 3 minutes to run all of the functions, but it is a great
way to verify whether maintenance work broke existing code in the
model.
I looked at CFCUnit, but I alreay had my test system in place. It
would be nice to see more activity on the project and for it to get
past version 0.8.3.
I highly recommend unit testing for large applications that will
undergo a lot of maintenance. It has definitely saved me a lot of
time in maintenance (but probably more time up front).
