In sandbox http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/vault/ is small (1 header minitest.hpp) Boostified library to help with testing. I use it instead of other frameworks as it doesn't require any work. Example of use: _________________________________ #include <boost/minitest.hpp> BOOST_MINITEST { assert(....); } BOOST_MINITEST { assert(....); .... } ... boost::minitest::execute_all_tests(); _________________________________ Features: - no helper classes, functions or naming conventions needed - allows to execute tests randomly (I found this very helpful) - it is possible to execute tests only from last N modified source files. This allows to re-run tests after every minor source modification (i.e. Test Driven Development) - no *.cpp files - works on systems w/o exceptions enabled, doesn't need RTTI - works with DLLs (it is needed to "register" every DLL). DLLs can be dynamically loaded/unloaded. - tested with VC6, Intel 7, BCB 6. Should work on UNIXes (I don't try yet). - allows to re-run failed test immediatelly if user wishes _________________________________ Disadvantages: - tests must be written on top level (i.e. not within functions) - no mechanism to select what "exact" tests to run is available (by design - I found it rather useless for me) - testing a DLLs requires few lines of support code per DLL - the "test only few last changed files" feature is rather brittle - it doesn't deal with headers and dependencies (it is just quick an dirty tool) Would this tiny tool be useful as part of Boost? - as complement to Boost.Test. If there's interest I can write docs and add tests. /Pavel
