I have, for my own purposes, refactored Gennidy's Boost.Test code - attached - with a demo. Is this of any interest or does it meet your needs? (The location you suggest sounds sensible - except that people may have trouble finding it, an existing difficulty with the math toolkit structure. Doxygenation might help this, but is a massive job - see the doxygen comments in fp_compare.hpp.) Paul

I'm wondering why the floating-point algorithms [1] implementation in floating_point_comparison.hpp lives in Boost UTF.
I've also wondered this and have used UTF's floating point comparison algorithms outside test code. Creating a new header like <boost/math/fpcompare.hpp> to parallel the existing <boost/math/fpclassify.hpp> under the floating point utils [1] could be useful.
