We are so pleased to bring you another addition to our Box collection of products: TestBox.  TestBox is a next generation testing framework for ColdFusion that is based on BDD (Behavior Driven Development) for providing a clean obvious syntax for writing tests. It contains not only a testing framework, runner, assertions and expectations library but also integrates with MockBox for mocking and stubbing. It also supports xUnit style of testing and MXUnit compatibilities.  At this point TestBox has been released as a 1.0.0 Alpha and can be downloaded from our main downloads page and it has been also integrated into our "development" branch for the ColdBox platform as well.  As you will see, TestBox also leverages Closures extensively to provide nice clear syntaxes in your tests.
