Yes. What do you get from those macros that's very useful beyond what BOOST_ASSERT supplies? I really want to know. Some people I'll be consulting with next week want to know about testing procedures for C++, and if there's a reason to recommend Boost.Test, I'd like to do that.
So you choose to use BOOST_ASSERT. That essentially means that you couldn't have more than one failure.
Usually my presumption is that if an assert fails, I can't really have confidence in anything thereafter anyway.
Fans of assert-based testing may want to check out <boost/detail/lightweight_test.hpp>, which is what I use for testing smart_ptr and bind. :-)
