It's all good and interesting but would you prefer minimal testing component? You stuck with a single BOOST_CHECK tool and couldn't figure out why particular assertion fails. You could use debugger but using BOOST_CHEKK_EQUAL would give you much more change to figure it you quicker without one.
Without a doubt, Boost.Test singlehandedly eliminated one of my biggest objections to test-first coding. I still don't do it near as much as I would like, but Boost.Test surely eliminated one of my biggest obstacles.
I really like what it provide.
FWIW, Boost Test is now _the_ framework for our unit tests. It's far, far better than anything else we've tried.
However... I still can't figure out how to use the macro that checks equivalence between floating point numbers. The interface is just too strange, and the docs are not very clear.
It's not perfect, and yes, the floating point stuff is a little odd. I ended up wrapping it into something that was a little easier for the other coders to deal with. Out of curiosity, what sort of interface would you like?
