Re: [boost] [test] Using boost.test for GUI testing?

Hello,

did anybody ever use boost.test to test the UI behavior of classes, like for example instantiating a class implementing a dialog, sending some events to the resulting object, and checking that the object has the expected state.

It would be interresting to create some kind of extension to Boost.Test for GUI testing.

AFAICT this would require to somehow integrate the main event loop of the respective GUI framework with the main loop of boost test, but I'm at a loss how this could be accomplished.

Use DLL version of the Boost.Test and you can implement your own main and invoke Boost.Test runner from it. Gennadiy
