The teeks99-* visual studio testers attempt to determine the exact version
of each compiler they are running. This is output in the runner info:
https://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/developer/summary.html

Under the compiler version heading:

Complier Versions

msvc-8.0        - 14.00.50727.762 - 80x86
msvc-8.0-64     - 14.00.50727.762 - x64
msvc-8.0-32-64  - 14.00.50727.762 - x64
msvc-9.0        - 15.00.30729.01 - 80x86
msvc-9.0-64     - 15.00.30729.01 - x64
msvc-9.0-32-64  - 15.00.30729.01 - x64
msvc-10.0       - 16.00.40219.01 - 80x86
msvc-10.0-64    - 16.00.40219.01 - x64
msvc-10.0-32-64 - 16.00.40219.01 - x64
msvc-11.0       - 17.00.61030 - x86
msvc-11.0-64    - 17.00.61030 - x64
msvc-11.0-32-64 - 17.00.61030 - x64
msvc-12.0       - 18.00.40629 - x86
msvc-12.0-64    - 18.00.40629 - x64
msvc-12.0-32-64 - 18.00.40629 - x64
msvc-14.0       - 19.00.24215.1 - x86
msvc-14.0-64    - 19.00.24215.1 - x64
msvc-14.0-32-64 - 19.00.24215.1 - x64
msvc-14.1-32-32 - 19.15.26726 - x86
msvc-14.1-32-64 - 19.15.26726 - x64
msvc-14.1-64-32 - 19.15.26726 - x86
msvc-14.1-64-64 - 19.15.26726 - x64

That is the superset of everything installed on the runner, but for a
specific msvc-XX.X version it should only have one specific version of
cl.exe.
