The problem for me is that it's too easy to forget that BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE refers to a persentage and not a relative error. I've lost count of how many times I've made that mistake, even though I do understand what it does.
BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE_FRACTION is an improvement, but still doesn't spell out what it does.
Personally I would have liked these to have been really explicit:
BOOST_CHECK_PERSENTAGE_DIFFERENCE BOOST_CHECK_RELATIVE_DIFFERENCE BOOST_CHECK_EPSILON_DIFFERENCE
I'd just like to to add my vote for more explicit naming of the testing macros. My personal preference would be the more terse, but IMHO still understandable: BOOST_(WARN|CHECK|REQUIRE)_DIFF_PERCENTAGE BOOST_(WARN|CHECK|REQUIRE)_DIFF_RELATIVE BOOST_(WARN|CHECK|REQUIRE)_DIFF_EPSILON (I'm not a native english speaker, but it's "percentage" with a "c" - right?) / Johan
