Helping getting started using Boost.Test

Question

I am trying to start unit testing. I am looking at a few C++ frameworks and want to try Boost.Test. The documentation seems very thorough, and it\'s a bit overwhelming, espe

You can start the tests from i.e. a menu command, but it's not that simple and sadly not well documented. Even more sad - its not possible to pass the path where the logfile is to be created. I had to add such a commandline option myself. Unfortunately i have not yet submitted it. My code looks like this:

#ifdef DEBUG

#undef main
#define BOOST_TEST_MAIN
#include 

int DoUnitTests()

{
    char *args[] = {"", "--log_level=all", "--auto_start_dbg=yes"};

    bool result = ::boost::unit_test::unit_test_main(&init_unit_test_suite, sizeof(args) / sizeof(char*), args);

    MessageDlog("Unittests result: %s", result ? "ERRORS in Unittests" :  "Goooood!");
    return result;
}

#else
int DoUnitTests()

{
}
#endif
