You have to setup Boost (bootstrap + b2 headers) and then run b2 passing 
the directory containing tests e.g. go to libs/geometry directory and run:
../../b2 test
or
../../b2 test/algorithms

You can also pass some options like:

../../b2 toolset=msvc-14.0 --abbreviate-paths cxxflags="\wd4244 \wd4996" 
-j4 test/algorithms

which will run only algorithms tests on 4 threads with msvc-14 and 
compiler options disabling warnings.

But I'm curious, why not prepare a simple test file loading WKT with 
bg::read_wkt() and calling bg::is_valid() and run it by yourself with 
choosen compiler?
