I am going to place all my tests for the book in a folder called share. This is my habit, but you could place your tests in different directories as you choose. I will create a folder called tests within the share folder of the server root, if it does not exist. Lastly, I will create a folder called cf9dt to place the tests for this book: /share/tests/cf9dt/.
The very first thing we need to learn is that all test methods need the word "Test" in them. This is the way MXUnit spots the tests. Let's create a file called assertTest.cfc in the directory we created to hold our tests. Place the following code in this file:
<cfcomponentdisplayname="assertTest"extends="mxunit.framework.TestCase">
<cffunction name="setUp">
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="tearDown">
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="firstTest">
<cfset fail("not yet implemented")>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>I will get right...
