If you run the test executable with --report_level=detailed you will
see the names of all the suites and tests cases as the execution
proceeeds.

You can also use this to debug arguments to --run_test.

With your code on Windows and boost 1.53 I get the following output
from --report_level=detailed:

> ConsoleApplication1.exe --report_level=detailed
Running 2 test cases...
d:/code/tmp/consoleapplication1/consoleapplication1/main.cpp(13): error in "my_test<__int64>": check sizeof(T) == (unsigned)4 failed [8 != 4]
d:/code/tmp/consoleapplication1/consoleapplication1/main.cpp(13): error in "my_test<unsigned char>": check sizeof(T) == (unsigned)4 failed [1 != 4]

Test suite "example" failed with:
  2 assertions out of 2 failed
  2 test cases out of 2 failed

  Test case "my_test<__int64>" failed with:
    1 assertion out of 1 failed

  Test case "my_test<unsigned char>" failed with:
    1 assertion out of 1 failed

Note that boost.test turned "long long" into "__int64", which may be
why you had difficulty specifying the name of the test.
