ColdFusion Is Nowhere Near Cloud Native

When we wrote about our lack of confidence in ColdFusion, we received some pushback that we were being too hard on Adobe. But the truth that remains a few months later is that ColdFusion is nowhere near cloud native, and the support of cloud methods is just not enough for the long haul.

Automated Testing with Selenium

The more likely you are to author tests, the better your results... Automation is the best way to increase test coverage, execution speed, and efficacy in software testing.
