UPDATE (01/02/2018): Visual Studio 2017 15.5 now offers Boost.Test support by default, so this extension is no longer necessary! Simply open the Visual Studio Installer and select "Test Adapter for Boost.Test" from the "œDesktop development with C++" workload. Visit the Visual Studio Docs for a simple guide to setting up your Boost tests.

The Test Adapter for Boost.Test is a unit testing extension published by Microsoft and based on the existing Boost Unit Test Adapter (v1.0.8) Visual Studio extension by Gunter Wirth's team from ETAS GmbH. This extension is developed in collaboration with the original project with the aim of improving Boost.Test support for C++ developers using Visual Studio 2017.

Key Features:

  • Automatically discover unit tests
  • Enables IDE tools (like the Test Explorer window) to run and manage Boost tests
  • View test execution results
  • Check code coverage (for Visual Studio Enterprise users)

For more details, please reference the Release Notes of the original adapter.

We appreciate all user feedback. If you would like to contribute your own changes, file issues, or request features, please visit this project on GitHub.
