#8707: Provide Standard xUnit XML Output from Boost Test
------------------------------+---------------------

Milestone: To Be Determined | Component: test
  Version: Boost 1.52.0 | Severity: Problem

------------------------------+---------------------
 The xUnit XML output format is ''the'' de facto standard for unit test
 output. Virtually all tools that deal with automated unit tests, such as
 IDEs and Continuous Integration systems, are able to consume and parse
 xUnit test output. Boost Test does not currently provide an option to
 output xUnit-compatible XML output, opting instead for it's own dialect.
 This causes a lot of wasted effort for C++ developers that use Boost Test.
 Work-arounds abound. One need only search for '"boost test" xunit xml' to
 see the numerous issues and work-arounds lack of such support causes.

 Providing an option to generate xUnit XML output directly from Boost Test
 would immediately enhance its usefulness to the C++ development community.
