Run all Boost.Test cases simulteniously

Hi, As far as I know, boost::test behaior is to execute each test case by the sequence those are added. However, I want to execute all test cases simulteniously. Is there any way for it?

- How about just getting the list of all test cases - Execute the test program with single test case and put it in background - If running too many test cases on the same machine becomes a problem, use STAF (http://staf.sourceforge.net/) to dispatch the tests with good control. - Simple ssh/rsh might be good enough to dispatch the tests by having a common shared folder (using NFS or CIFS) If there is a boost::test specific way of doing that, I would like to know that. -dhruva

Not 100% sure what do you mean by simultaneously. Boost.Test is in itself single threaded. You can execute test cases in random order (--random) or by name(--run_test). That said, I had an idea (proposed for Boostcon, but rejected - maybe next time) how implement distributed unit testing with Boost.Test, but this is not finished and is not available in trunk.
