For the xUnit, OO-style, test frameworks there's a pattern called Abstract Test Case, where all test methods reside in a base class, together with one or more abstract methods denoting variance. Then you create derived, concrete classes that implement the variations for the specific types, and the runner sees them as separate suites. That's essentially what you're describing above, except you would have to repeat every test case for every variation. I wonder if there's a way to use Boost.Test fixtures to implement Abstract Test Case with a type variation...? - Kim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
