From what you say, using Boost Test is most definitely what you need.
It does exactly what you want - though it does take some setting up, which you will balk at.
Sorry, read "simulations" (in as in simulating a physical system) rather than "tests" - there could be some confusion there. Although I don't claim to be an expert in Boost.Test, I haven't balked at the setting up it takes in the cases where I (perhaps unimaginatively) thought it fitted. Are you suggesting I should have a longer look at program_execution_monitor? Does have a way of saving up the errors that occur (and stop individual simulations) during a run and then print me all the details (with test names) at the end (will it mail them to me as they happen? That'd be great.) cheers Geoff
