I think we may be talking about two different use cases for test system:

* one is to run them overnight, do a complete coverage, record
  everything, recover after errors

* other is quick and dirty tool to test recently changed
   code directly from IDE, without need to touch makefiles
  or whatever else.

Boost.Test may be able to serve both purposes.
