Hello everyone, after prying for any hints in the documentation and reading frustrating mails in the archives for a while now, I get the feeling that this is a very confusing topic. My aim is to use a static library of boost.test because I need to compile it a lot and the waiting time when using the header is just frustrating.

I felt the same way until I switched to using the minimal test suite.

I would be interested to know why.

It builds much faster and has all the testing features I use.

I would not recommend anyone to use this component anymore. It's here for slightly esoteric reasons. It does not match to UTF neither in functionality nor convenience, but in majority of the case UTF is as simple. Gennadiy
