40  <P class="first-line-indented">To create a test case use the macro BOOST_TEST_CASE(
41    test_function ). For more details see the <A href="components/utf/components/test_case/index.html">Unit
42    Test Framework</A> documentation.</P>

46    Test Framework</A> documentation.</P> 
47  <H2><A name="Item_6">Why did I get a linker error when compiling my test program?</A></H2> 
48  <P class="first-line-indented">Boost Test Library is implemented off-line.
49    To create a test program you should link with the one of the precompiled
50    library components or use "included" version of the component located in
51    a boost/test/included directory. For example, to use Test Execution Monitor
52    you may either include the &lt;boost/test/test_tools.hpp&gt; and link with
53    libtest_exec_monitor.lib or you could include &lt;boost/test/included/test_exec_monitor.hpp&gt; in
54    which case you would not need to link with any precompiled component. Note
55    also that you should strictly follow specification on integration function
56    in other case some compilers may produce linker error like this:
57  <P> 
58  <P>Unresolved external init_unit_test_suite(int, char**).</P> 
59  <P>The reasons for this error is that in your implementation you should specify
60    second argument of init_unit_test_suite exactly as in a specification, i.e.:
61    char* [].</P> 
62  <H2><A name="Item_7">How could I redirect testing output?</A></H2> 
63  <P class="first-line-indented">Use unit_test_log::instance().set_log_output(
64    std::ostream&amp; ). For more details see the <A href="components/utf/components/test_log/index.html">Unit
65    Test Framework </A>documentation.</P> 
66  <H2><A name="Item_8">I want different default log trace level</A></H2> 
67  <P class="first-line-indented">Use environment variable BOOST_TEST_LOG_LEVEL
68    to define desired log trace level. You still will be able to reset this value
69    from the command line. For the list of acceptable values see the <A href="components/utf/parameters/log_level.html">Unit
70    Test Framework</A> documentation. </P> 
71  <H2><A name="Item_9">Is there DLL version of Boost Test components available
72      on Win32 platform?</A></H2> 
73  <P class="first-line-indented">No. At the moment Boost Test components could
74    not be compiled into dlls to be loaded at runtime.</P>
