BOOST_TEST( expression ) tests whether expression is true. You might need 
BOOST_ERROR for the above two if you want them to be flagged as a test 
failure and output their argument as the reason.

I took a quick look at the serialization tests though and I don't see 
anything resembling the above; everything in test_tools.hpp seems fine.
