Re: [Boost-users] boost.test and Cruise Control

Up to using NAnt that sounds pretty much like what I want to do. Right 
now I'm pretty much just having CC.NET do the build via the Dev Studio 
command line interface. We are still on .NET 2003 right now but the 2005 
disks should be here next week.

What does using NAnt buy you that CC.NET doesn't have?

Do you have CC.NET do anything with the results of the unit tests, I.E 
have it display the tests/test_suites run, have it display errors and 
maybe even notify when people when test fail? I know that Boost.Test can 
produce xml output but I don't know how to begin to have CC.NET consume it.
