| 14 | <LI>The <A href="execution_monitor/index.html">Execution Monitor</A> - a basic exception and error detection and reporting |
|---|
| 15 | facility for use in both production and test programs. The Execution Monitor calls a user-supplied function and reports |
|---|
| 16 | all caught runtime exceptions. It is used internally by other Boost Test Library components. It also could be used in |
|---|
| 17 | some production environment to make controlled calls of functions which might otherwise crash the program.</LI> |

| 20 | <LI>The <A href="prg_exec_monitor/index.html">Program Execution Monitor</A> - a simple helper facility to be used to monitor |
|---|
| 21 | a program execution. The Program Execution Monitor provides the function main() and uses the Execution Monitor to control |
|---|
| 22 | a program execution. It should be used in production environment to produce uniform error reports. To control programs |
|---|
| 23 | working in test environment, use the Test Execution Monitor instead.</LI> |

| 30 | <LI>The <A href="test_exec_monitor/index.html">Test Execution Monitor</A> - causes a test program to run in a monitored |
|---|
| 31 | environment. The Test Execution Monitor provides the main() function to control a simple test program execution and |
|---|
| 32 | allows to use the Test Tools to implement test logic. It is intended to be used in test environment. To control production |
|---|
| 33 | code execution use the Program Execution Monitor.</LI> |

|---|
| 37 | test cases. The framework supports test cases written as simple free functions or member functions and organizes them |
|---|
| 38 | into a tree of test suites. The framework allows to use the Test Tools to implement a test cases and provides a facility |
|---|
| 39 | to manage a log report level and a result report level.</LI> |

|---|
| 43 | presented by the original version of Boost Test. The same as the Test Execution Monitor it causes the test program to |
|---|
| 44 | run in a monitored environment. In addition it defines several simple test tools that behave similarly to ones defined |
|---|
| 45 | in Test Tools. Minimal testing facility does not require linking with external components, so could be a component of |
|---|
| 46 | choice for simple and quick testing needs.</LI> |
