• Easy to get started with:
  1. download and deflate the latest boost archive
  2. create a test module with this (header version):

     #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE your_test_module#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>

  3. Write your first test case:

     BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( your_test_case ) {    std::vector<int> a{1, 2};    std::vector<int> b{1, 2};    BOOST_TEST( a == b );}

  4. build and run
  5. done
• powerful and unique test assertion macroBOOST_TEST, that understands floating points, collections, strings... and uses appropriate comparison paradigm
• self-registering test cases, organize cases in test suites, apply fixtures on test cases, suites or globally
• provide assertioncontext for advanced diagnostic on failure
• powerful and extensibledataset tests
• adddecoration to test cases and suites foradvanced description,group/label, anddependencies
• powerful command line options and test case filters
• extensible logging, XML and JUNIT outputs for third-party tools (eg. cont. integration)
• various usage (shared/static library/header only) for faster integration and/or compilation/build cycles, smaller binaries
