What kind of setup would you prefer: link to the library or not, dynamic or
static library?

What compiler r u using? Which version of Boost?

BTW, what do u find confusing in documentation?

Here is one scenario:

class_A_test.cpp:

-------------
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE( class_A_test )
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( test1 )
{
 // ...
}
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END()
--------------

class_B_test.cpp:

-------------
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE( class_B_test )
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( test1 )
{
 // ...
}
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( test2 )
{
 // ...
}
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END()
--------------

main.cpp:

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE My unit test suite
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

Link it all together (along with main.cpp) add static UTF library and it should
do what you need.

HTH,
