Enables writing fluent assertions in TestBox using expect() and expectAll() across collections to improve test readability and maintainability.
Start by using expect( actual ).toBeXxx() in tests and register custom matchers with addMatchers().

Fluent TestBox assertions are written by calling expect() on a value and chaining built-in matchers like toBe, toBeTrue, or toHaveKey directly to validate results. This chaining improves test readability and maintains a clean testing DSL.
You can validate multiple items in a collection using TestBox by applying expectAll() over arrays and structs. It enables bulk validation across collections to ensure all elements meet the expected matchers in unit tests.
Yes, you can create and register custom matchers in TestBox using the addMatchers() function. This extensibility allows you to define and register specialized assertion logic tailored to your ColdBox project's specific testing requirements.
Perform negative assertions in TestBox unit tests by using the not operator alongside built-in matchers, such as notToBe or notToBeEmpty. These negations allow you to verify that values do not meet specific conditions.
Built-in matchers for ColdBox unit tests include toBe, toBeTrue, toHaveKey, toThrow, toMatch, toBeBetween, toBeCloseTo, and toInclude. They support validating values, collections, error handling, and edge cases across TestBox projects.
Yes, TestBox supports chaining multiple matchers on a single actual value using the fluent expect() DSL. This allows you to apply several assertions sequentially to thoroughly validate complex values and collections in unit tests.
