Actually, I am just looking into BOOST reading the documentation etc Do you recommend any particular version of BOOST that I should install and play with?
I recommend you to use the latest version. Try 1.34 RC.
I am looking to define all the test data in XML files - maybe 1000's of them - have a class that parses this XML file (some tests have about 7-8 pieces of disparate primitive data types string, double, int etc)and pass the array of class instances to a test method for repetitive testing. If this is not pragmatic, could you recommend another way?
Use BOOST_PARAM_TEST_CASE. It works differently in latest version then before. You will have less problems with parametrs object lifetime management. Let me know if you have any problems. Gennadiy
