|

<P class="1-line-indented">To create a test case use the macro BOOST_TEST_CASE( test_function
|
|
). For more details see <A href="unit_test_framework.htm#Components">Unit test
|
|
framework</A> documentation.</P>

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="1-line-indented">Boost Test Library is implemented offline.
|
|
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="1-line-indented">Use unit_test_log::instance().set_log_output( std::ostream&
|
|
). For more details see <A href="unit_test_framework.htm#TestLog">Unit test framework</A>
|
|
documentation.</P>
|
|
<H2><A name="Item 8">I want different default log trace level</A></H2>
|
|
<P class="1-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 <A href="unit_test_framework.htm#FrameworkParameters">Unit
|
|
test framework</A> documentation. </P>
