<H2><A name="Item_1">Where the latest version of the Boost Test Library is located?</A></H2>
|
|
<P class="first_line_indented">The latest version of Boost Test Library is available
|
|
online on <A href="http://www.boost.org">www.boost.org</A>.</P>
|
|
<H2><A name="Item_2">I found a bug. Where could I report it?</A></H2>
|
|
<P class="first_line_indented">Send a bug report to <A href='mailto:rogeeff@fusemail.com'>Gennadiy
|
|
Rozental</A>.</P>
|
|
<H2><A name="Item_3">I have a request for a new feature. Where could I ask for it?</A></H2>
|
|
<P class="first_line_indented">You can send a request to <A href='mailto:rogeeff@fusemail.com'>Gennadiy
|
|
Rozental</A>.</P>
|
|
<H2><A name="Item_4">How to create test case?</A></H2>
|
|
<P class="first_line_indented">To create a test case use the macro BOOST_TEST_CASE( test_function ).
|
|
For more details see the <A href="components/unit_test_framework/components/test_case/index.html">Unit
|
|
Test Framework</A> documentation.</P>
|
|
<H2><A name="Item_5">How to create test suite?</A></H2>
|
|
<P class="first_line_indented">To create a test suite use the macro BOOST_TEST_SUITE( suite_name ).
|
|
For more details see the <A href="components/unit_test_framework/components/test_suite/index.html">Unit
|
|
Test Framework</A> documentation.</P>
|
|
<H2><A name="Item_6">Why did I get a linker error when compiling my test program?</A></H2>
|
|
<P class="first_line_indented">Boost Test Library is implemented off-line. To create a test program
|
|
you should link with the one of the precompiled library components or use "included" version of the
|
|
component located in a boost/test/included directory. For example, to use Test Execution Monitor you
|
|
may either include the <boost/test/test_tools.hpp> and link with libtest_exec_monitor.lib or
|
|
you could include <boost/test/included/test_exec_monitor.hpp> in which case you would not need
|
|
to link with any precompiled component. Note also that you should strictly follow specification on
|
|
integration function in other case some compilers may produce linker error like this:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>Unresolved external init_unit_test_suite(int, char**).</P>
|
|
<P>The reasons for this error is that in your implementation you should specify
|
|
second argument of init_unit_test_suite exactly as in a specification, i.e.: char*
|
|
[].</P>
|
|
<H2><A name="Item_7">How could I redirect testing output?</A></H2>
|
|
<P class="first_line_indented">Use unit_test_log::instance().set_log_output( std::ostream& ). For
|
|
more details see the <A href="components/unit_test_framework/components/test_log/index.html">Unit
|
|
Test Framework </A>documentation.</P>
|
|
<H2><A name="Item_8">I want different default log trace level</A></H2>
|
|
<P class="first_line_indented">Use environment variable BOOST_TEST_LOG_LEVEL to define desired log trace
|
|
level. You still will be able to reset this value from the command line. For the list of acceptable
|
|
values see the <A href="components/unit_test_framework/parameters/log_level.html">Unit Test Framework</A>
|
|
documentation. </P>
|
|
<H2><A name="Item_9">Is there DLL version of Boost Test components available on Win32 platform?</A></H2>
|
|
<P class="first_line_indented">No. At the moment Boost Test components could not be compiled into dlls
|
|
to be loaded at runtime.</P>
