Your C++ code can simply write a testcase.cpp file for you. I use this 
for testing modifications to a model - I have an old but dependable 
model which writes test cases when I set a flag in my properties file. 
Most of the file is static strings, the parts that change are input 
parameters and results. I then rebuild (make automatically picks up the 
extra cpp files) the new model and the test cases are run at startup. 
BTW, I use UnitTest++ because it works and I haven't had a need to change...
