Is there a specific formal way that I should be writing test programs for the singleton library? I was initially planning on just writing program results to a file and providing a second file containing expected output. However, because I am relatively new to boost I thought that there might be some bigger testing framework that I need to use. Is there?
Additionally, I don't quite understand what bjam is, but everything seems to use it. Should I be using it as well, or does it only apply to libraries that need to be compiled? Singleton uses only header files.
Thanks in advance for all replies.

You could use Boost.Test. It has several components. You may select the one that fit best to your habits/needs. Particularly Boost.Test tools includes output_test_stream that allows to match your output vs. pattern file. Check docs for more details. Gennadiy
