# What is Boost.Test?
Boost.Test is a C++03/11/14/17 unit testing library, available on a wide range of platforms and compilers.

The library is part of [Boost](http://www.boost.org). The latest release
of the library is available from the boost web site.

Full instructions for use of this library can be accessed from
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/test/

# Key features

* Easy to get started with:
    1. download and deflate the latest boost archive
    1. create a test module with this (header version):
        ```
        #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE your_test_module
        #include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>
        ```
    1. Write your first test case:
        ```
        BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( your_test_case ) {
            std::vector<int> a{1, 2};
            std::vector<int> b{1, 2};
            BOOST_TEST( a == b );
        }
        ```
    1. build and run
    1. done
* powerful and unique test assertion macro [`BOOST_TEST`](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/testing_tools/boost_test_universal_macro.html), that understands floating points, collections, strings... and uses appropriate comparison paradigm
* self-registering test cases, organize cases in test suites, apply fixtures on test cases, suites or globally
* provide assertion [context](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/test_output/test_tools_support_for_logging/contexts.html) for advanced diagnostic on failure
* powerful and extensible [dataset](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/tests_organization/test_cases/test_case_generation.html) tests
* add [decoration](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/tests_organization/decorators.html) to test cases and suites for [advanced description](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/tests_organization/semantic.html), [group/label](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/tests_organization/tests_grouping.html), and [dependencies](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/tests_organization/tests_dependencies.html)
* powerful command line options and test case filters
* extensible logging, XML and JUNIT outputs for third-party tools (eg. cont. integration)
* various usage (shared/static library/header only) for faster integration and/or compilation/build cycles, smaller binaries
