Re: [Boost-users] Question about Boost.Test

Actually, I am just looking into BOOST reading the documentation etc
Do you recommend any particular version of BOOST that I should install and
play with? I am looking to define all the test data in XML files - maybe
1000's of them - have a class that parses this XML file (some tests have
about 7-8 pieces of disparate primitive data types string, double, int
etc)and pass the array of class instances to a test method for repetitive
testing. If this is not pragmatic, could you recommend another way?

Short answer is - yes. Do you have any problems?

Probably "ParameterType const&"?

What version of boost are you using? You sure you need class?
