I also updated benchmarks with Boost.Test-1.71.0 (static library). I didn't add Boost.LightweightTest though as it's just assertions (no tests/suites/etc...) so it makes it difficult to compare due to missing features. * https://github.com/boost-experimental/ut#benchmarks
Boost.LT does not offer formal vocabulary for cases and suites, but saying it's "just assertions" is not quite accurate, I think. According to some of TDD advocates, there shall be single assertion per unit test [1] (test case is an individual unit of testing, a unit test): int sqr(int x) { return x * x; } int main() { BOOST_TEST( sqr(2) == 4 ); // test case 1 BOOST_TEST_EQ( sqr(-3), 9 ); // test case 2 return boost::report_errors(); } For those who multiple assertions: void test_sqr(int input, int expect) { BOOST_TEST( sqr(input) == expect); BOOST_TEST( sqr(-input) == expect); } int main() { test_sqrt(2, 4); // test case 1 test_sqrt(-3, 9); // test case 1 return boost::report_errors(); } Finally, the single runnable test program is a test suite. So, I will argue that Boost.LT does support test cases and test suites. [1] https://osherove.com/blog/2006/10/3/avoid-multiple-asserts-in-a-single-unit-...
