You can check for expected exceptions with the following macros:

BOOST_WARN_THROW( statement, exception )
BOOST_CHECK_THROW( statement, exception )
BOOST_REQUIRE_THROW( statement, exception )

(see 
<http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/components/test_tools/reference/index.html>
)

You can check for unexpected exceptions by simply letting the exception escape 
out of test_main (in which case the test is aborted and fails) or with the 
following macros:

BOOST_WARN_NO_THROW( statement )
BOOST_CHECK_NO_THROW( statement )
BOOST_REQUIRE_NO_THROW( statement )

HTH,
