It seems to me that there's no unit testing framework for C++ that would 
support that (please correct me if I'm wrong).

> Which particular part?
For example this : "Sub test case names are deduced from the macro argument 
test_case_name. If you prefer to assign different test case names, you need 
to use the underlying make_test_case interface instead." More details on that 
would be nice. It would also be great to add more complex examples. Examples 
for each section are clear, however problems arise when one tries to combine 
concepts from many sections.

I found it in documentation for Boost 1.34 : 
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_34_1/libs/test/doc/tests/parameterized_test_test.html

Would this be a good solution if I had many tests with lots of data sets? 

> You can implement your own generator.
Could you point me to example on how to do that?

 >framework::master_test_suite() 
As mentioned in my fisrt mail I have tried that but with no result. It seems 
that I got something wrong with what I can add to master test suite.
