<h1>Boost.MultiArray: Test Descriptions</h1>
The following is a description of the test cases that are included with
Boost.Multi_Array (B.M).
<h2>Terminology</h2>
The following list is to clarify the use of terms in the following
descriptions:
<ul>
<li> <b>B.M</b> - abbreviation for Boost.MultiArray.
<li><b>primary components</b> - refers to <tt>boost::multi_array</tt>,
<tt>boost::const_multi_array_ref</tt>, and
<tt>boost::multi_array_ref</tt>.
<li><b>array types</b> - refers to all the primary components, plus for each
primary component "array", the types <tt>array::const_subarray</tt>,
<tt>array::subarray</tt>, <tt>array::const_array_view</tt>, and
<tt>array::array_view </tt>
</ul>
<h2>Acceptance Tests</h2>
The following tests exercise various features of Boost.Multi_Array to
ensure proper operation at run time.

<h2>Compile-Fail Tests</h2>
The following tests check to make sure that various constructs not
accepted by the library fail to compile. Each test checks only
one fault in order to more easily ensure the cause of the
compilation failure.
