System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Many ColdBox projects need readable, behavior-driven tests that express intent, lifecycle setup, and data-driven cases without brittle fixtures or tangled setup code. This Skill helps authors structure suites and specs so behavior is clear, reusable, and easy to maintain across unit, integration, and parallel scenarios.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Behavior-driven suite and spec structure using describe/it and Gherkin-style aliases for readable tests and requirements mapping.
  • Lifecycle management with beforeAll/afterAll and nested beforeEach/afterEach plus aroundEach for transactions or resource wrapping.
  • Focused and skipped execution, spec data binding to avoid closure-capture issues, labels for targeted runs, and asyncAll support for safe parallel IO-bound specs.

Quick Start

Create a new BDD spec that tests user creation using describe/it, lifecycle hooks, and spec data binding so you can run focused or parallel suites immediately.
