[section:test_org_reference Tests declaration and organization]




[/ Test cases ###############################################################################################]
[section:test_org_boost_test_case `BOOST_TEST_CASE`]
Creates a test case for manual registration. The registration in the test tree should be performed manually.

See [link ref_BOOST_TEST_CASE here] for more details.
[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_test_case]

[section:test_org_boost_auto_test_case `BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE`]
Declares and registers automatically a test case.

See [link ref_BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE here] for more details.
[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_auto_test_case]


[section:test_org_boost_test_case_auto_template `BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE`]
Declares and registers automatically a typed test case.

See [link ref_BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE here] for more details.
[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_test_case_auto_template]


[section:test_org_boost_test_case_template `BOOST_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE`]
Creates a typed test case. The test case should have been declared with the macro __BOOST_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE_FUNCTION__.
The registration in the test tree should be performed manually.

See [link ref_BOOST_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE here] for more details.
[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_test_case_template]

[section:test_org_boost_test_case_template_function `BOOST_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE_FUNCTION`]
Declares a typed test case. The registration in the test tree should be performed manually, using the macro
__BOOST_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE__.

See [link ref_BOOST_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE here] for more details.
[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_test_case_template_function]

[section:test_org_boost_test_case_parameter `BOOST_PARAM_TEST_CASE`]
Declares and registers automatically a test case with one parameter.

See [link boost_test.tests_organization.test_cases.param_test here] for more details.
[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_test_case_parameter]


[section:test_org_boost_test_dataset `BOOST_DATA_TEST_CASE`]
Declares and registers a data-driven test case, using a particular dataset.

Several forms of the macro are available.


``
BOOST_DATA_TEST_CASE(test_case_name, dataset)
{
  BOOST_TEST(sample != 0);
}
``
should be used for datasets with arity 1. In the body of the test case, the samples of the dataset are taken by the variable `sample`.

``
BOOST_DATA_TEST_CASE(test_case_name, dataset, var1)
{
  BOOST_TEST(var1 != 0);
}
``
same as the first form, but the samples are taken by the variable `var1` instead of the variable `sample`


``
BOOST_DATA_TEST_CASE(test_case_name, dataset, var1, var2..., varN)
{
  BOOST_TEST(var1 != 0);
  //...
  BOOST_TEST(varN != 0);
}
``

same as the second form, but for dataset of arity `N`.

For compilers *lacking the variadic template* support, the maximal arity (the maximal value of `N`) is controlled by the macro
`BOOST_TEST_DATASET_MAX_ARITY` which is set to `10` by default. If you need a greater value, define `BOOST_TEST_DATASET_MAX_ARITY`
to the desired value *before* including the __UTF__ headers.

See [link boost_test.tests_organization.test_cases.test_case_generation.datasets_auto_registration here] for more details.

[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_test_dataset]

[section:test_org_boost_test_dataset_fixture `BOOST_DATA_TEST_CASE_F`]
Declares and registers a data-driven test case, using a particular dataset and a fixture. This is basically the same as
__BOOST_DATA_TEST_CASE__ with fixture support added.

``
struct my_fixture {
  my_fixture() : some_string("environment X") {
  }
  std::string some_string;
};

BOOST_DATA_TEST_CASE_F(my_fixture, test_case_name, dataset, var1, var2..., varN)
{
  BOOST_TEST(var1 != 0);
  //...
  BOOST_TEST(varN != 0);
}
``

The fixture should implement the appropriate [link boost_test.tests_organization.fixtures.models interface].
As any fixture, it is possible to have test assertions in the fixture class.

See [link boost_test.tests_organization.fixtures.case here] for more details on fixtures and
[link boost_test.tests_organization.test_cases.test_case_generation.datasets_auto_registration here] for more details on datasets
declaration.

[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_test_dataset_fixture]

[/ Test suites ###############################################################################################]
[section:test_org_boost_test_suite `BOOST_TEST_SUITE`]
Creates a test suite. The created test suite should be added to the test tree manually.

See [link ref_BOOST_TEST_SUITE here] for more details.
[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_test_suite]

[section:test_org_boost_auto_test_suite `BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE`]
Indicates the beginning of a test suite. Test suites can be nested.

See [link ref_BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE here] for more details.
[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_auto_test_suite]

[section:test_org_boost_auto_test_suite_end `BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END`]
Indicates the end of a test suite. Test suites can be nested. This macro should appear as many times as there is a
__BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE__.

See [link ref_BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE here] for more details.
[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_auto_test_suite_end]



[/ Fixtures ###############################################################################################]
[/-----------------------------------------------------------------]
[section:test_org_boost_test_case_fixture `BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE`]
Declares and registers a test case that uses a fixture. The class implementing the fixture should have the appropriate
[link boost_test.tests_organization.fixtures.models interface].
As any fixture, it is possible to have test assertions in the fixture class.

See [link boost_test.tests_organization.fixtures.case here] for more details.
[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_test_case_fixture]

[/-----------------------------------------------------------------]
[section:test_org_boost_test_suite_fixture `BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE`]
Declares and registers a fixture used by all test cases under a test suite.
Each test case in the subtree of the test suite uses the fixture.
The class implementing the fixture should have the appropriate [link boost_test.tests_organization.fixtures.models interface].
As any fixture, it is possible to have test assertions in the fixture class.

See [link boost_test.tests_organization.fixtures.case here] for more details.
[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_test_case_fixture]

[/-----------------------------------------------------------------]
[section:test_org_boost_global_fixture `BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE`]
This macro is deprecated in favor of __BOOST_TEST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE__ and __BOOST_TEST_GLOBAL_CONFIGURATION__.
[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_test_case_fixture]

[/-----------------------------------------------------------------]
[section:test_org_boost_test_global_fixture `BOOST_TEST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE`]
Declares and registers a global fixture. The global fixture acts exactly as a suite fixture attached to the
[link boost_test.tests_organization.test_suite.master_test_suite master test suite],
and is called before any of the test case in the test tree is executed.

The class implementing the fixture should have the appropriate [link boost_test.tests_organization.fixtures.models interface].
As any fixture, it is possible to have test assertions in the global fixture.

See [link boost_test.tests_organization.fixtures.global here] for more details.
[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_test_global_fixture]




[/ Decorators ##############################################################################################]
[section:test_org_boost_test_decorator `BOOST_TEST_DECORATOR`]
Defines ['decorators] for a test unit.

See [link boost_test.tests_organization.decorators here] for more details.
[endsect] [/section:test_org_boost_test_decorator]


[/-----------------------------------------------------------------]
[section:decorator_depends_on depends_on (decorator)]

``
depends_on(const_string dependent_test_name);
``

Indicates a dependency from the decorated test unit (the child) to the designed test unit `dependent_test_name` (the parent).
See [link boost_test.tests_organization.tests_dependencies here] for more details.

[endsect] [/ section decorator_depends_on]



[/-----------------------------------------------------------------]
[section:decorator_description description (decorator)]

``
description(const_string message);
``

Attaches an arbitrary string to the test unit.
See [link boost_test.tests_organization.semantic here] for more details.

[endsect] [/ decorator description]




[/-----------------------------------------------------------------]
[section:decorator_enabled enabled / disabled (decorator)]

``
enabled();
disabled();
``

Sets the test unit's __default_run_status__ to ['true] or ['false].
See [link boost_test.tests_organization.enabling here] for more details.

[endsect] [/ section:decorator_enabled]


[/-----------------------------------------------------------------]
[section:decorator_enable_if enable_if (decorator)]

``
template <bool Condition> enable_if();
``
Sets the test unit's __default_run_status__ to ['true] or ['false], depending on a compilation-time
constant.
See [link boost_test.tests_organization.enabling here] for more details.


[endsect] [/ section enable_if]


[/-----------------------------------------------------------------]
[section:decorator_fixture fixture (decorator)]

``
fixture(const boost::function<void()>& setup, const boost::function<void()>& teardown = {});

template <typename Fx>
  fixture<Fx>();

template <typename Fx, typename Arg>
  fixture<Fx>(const Arg& arg);
``

Decorator `fixture` specifies a pair of functions (like `set_up` and `tear_down`) to be called before and after the
corresponding test unit. At the suite level the `set_up` function is called once -- before the suite execution starts
-- and `tear_down` function is called once -- after the suite execution ends. It comes in three forms.

First expects two
functions for set-up and tear-down (the second one can be skipped).

The second expects a `DefaultConstructible` class.
Its default constructor will be used as set-up function and its destructor as a tear-down function.

The third form requires a
class with one-argument public constructor. Argument `arg` is forwarded to the constructor.

For the second and third form, the framework detects if there is a `setup` and/or `teardown` function implemented in the class,
with the same declaration as described in the [link boost_test.tests_organization.fixtures.models fixture model].
If those member function are declared, they will be called right after construction and just
before destruction respectively.

[note There is no way to get access to the members of these fixtures from
within the test case or test suite.]

[bt_example decorator_12..decorator fixture..run]

For other ways of using fixtures, see [link boost_test.tests_organization.fixtures here].

[endsect] [/ section fixture]



[/-----------------------------------------------------------------]
[section:decorator_label label (decorator)]

``
label(const_string label_name);
``

Associates a test unit with label `label_name`. It is possible to associate more than one label with a test unit.
See [link boost_test.tests_organization.tests_grouping here] for more details.

[endsect] [/ section label]


[/-----------------------------------------------------------------]
[section:decorator_precondition precondition (decorator)]

[def __class_assertion_result__ [classref boost::test_tools::assertion_result test_tools::assertion_result]]
``
typedef boost::function<__class_assertion_result__ (test_unit_id)> predicate_t;

precondition(predicate_t predicate);
``

Associates a ['predicate] with a test unit that will determine its __default_run_status__ at run-time.
See [link boost_test.tests_organization.enabling here] for more details.
