The Boost Test Library provides a matched set of components for writing test programs, organizing tests in to
|
|
simple test cases and test suites, and controlling their runtime execution. The Program Execution Monitor is also
|
|
useful in some production (non-test) environments.

This documentation is <span class="bold"><strong>not</strong></span> intended to be read though from the beginning to the end by
|
|
a novice user. You can do that if you are interested in detailed bottom-up description of all Boost.Test components.
|
|
Otherwise you are better off jumping directly to the subject of your interest. For example, if you are interested in
|
|
unit testing framework you may go directly <a class="link" href="utf.html" title="Boost Test Library: The Unit Test Framework">there</a>, but for novice users I recommend to
|
|
start from simple <a class="link" href="utf/tutorials.html" title="The unit test framework tutorials">tutorials</a>. Looking for quick help - check
|
|
<a class="link" href="faq.html" title="Frequently Asked Questions">FAQ</a> section for resolution to many popular issues you may be faced with. Most pages
|
|
should link you directly to the terms that you need to understand it. For help with compilation see compilation
|
|
sections of an appropriate component.

Because the Boost Test Library is critical for porting and testing Boost libraries, it has been written to be
|
|
conservative in its use of C++ features, and to keep dependencies to a bare minimum.

Boost.Test supports all main Boost compilers and platforms. Confirmation of its status on core and additional
|
|
platforms/compilers can be seen by viewing Boost.Test's own internal regression test results on
