Continuous Integration with Coldfusion 3

Posted by Neil on July 24, 2007

Quote from the CF Development team:

“On the ColdFusion team, we have a fairly rigorous checkin/build/test process. Every time anyone checks something in to the source control system, the build machine gets it,
attempts to do a full build and runs a series of automated regression tests against it, just to make sure that nothing obvious has been broken”

Has anyone managed to achieve anything similar with CF, and have it rolled out and in production?  I’d be interested to hear your experiences.

    I’m slowing working on something - using Ant - I have a build file which moves all my code to production. Now I’m working on implementing some Selenium scripts for testing the application - which I can also kick off using Ant. And next application I do from scratch I’m going to look into doing unit testing.

    Maybe someone from the CF team will chime in and let us know what they are using?

    SVN, ANT, Cruise Control, cfcUnit, Selenium.

    Cruise Control monitors your SVN repo and automatically runs ANT scripts. ANT scripts will run cfcUnit and selenium tests and email/publish results with http://ftp.

    Hey, Neil, about a week after your post here, we had an hour-long presentation on this very subject, on the Online ColdFusion Meetup (coldfusionmeetup.com), which is a worldwide virtual CF user group.

    The talk was by Thomas Burleson of Universal Mind, on “Continuous Testing with Flex and ColdFusion Projects”, and folks can view the video online at http://experts.acrobat.com/p47016623/. (Yep, it covers both Flex and CF, but he introduces the concepts in a way that should benefit even someone interested only in CF.) Hope that’s helpful.
