boost.test vs. CppUnit

Question

I've been using CppUnit for quite a while now (and am happy with it). As we are using more and more parts of the boost library I had a short look on boost.test and I'm wondering now if I should switch to boost.test in a new project or not.

Can anyone here tell me about the differences between the two frameworks and the benefits (if there are any) of using boost.test?

Answer 1

How is this less clunky than Boost.Test alternative:

class MyFixture { MyFixture() { /* setup here */} };

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( my_test, MyFixture )
{
    BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(0, foo);
}

Macros indeed a bit longer, but this is safer and is recommended practice in C++.

I am yet to see a single technical reason to prefer Google Test (and I know quite a few to prefer Boost.Test). The rest is just your preference.
