Hmm, well, actually there are several testing frameworks for Java but JUnit is certainly the most well-known - even if it is reviled by various outspoken members of the Java community :) Look at the application frameworks space: back in the day, we really just had Fusebox and over time people 'got' that an application framework was a Good Thing(tm). (well, a lot of people 'got' it - there are still some that don't) Once the basic idea that an application framework was good took hold, other frameworks became more acceptable as well, combined with the acceptance of some OO principles in the CF community. Now we're even OK with some fairly specialized application frameworks. We've come a long way in that space. We have a long way to go in the testing space. Given the 'need' to raise awareness of testing and TDD in the CF community, I'd say that a combined CF(C)Unit test framework would really benefit folks by providing focus. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Got frameworks?
