Boost.Test support
Boost unit testing framework (Boost.Test) is a part of the Boost library. It is a fully-functional and scalable framework, with wide range of assertion macros, XML output, and other features. Boost.Test itself lacks mocking functionality, but it can be combined with stand-alone mocking frameworks such as gmock.
Boost.Test run/debug configuration
Although Boost.Test provides the main() entry for your test program, and you can run it as a regular application, we recommend using the dedicated Boost.Test run/debug configuration. It includes test-related settings and let you benefit from the built-in test runner, which is unavailable if you run tests as regular programs.
To create a Boost.Test configuration, go to Run | Edit Configurations, click
and select Boost.Test from the list of templates.Specify the test or suite to be included in the configuration, or provide a pattern for filtering test names. Auto-completion is available in the fields to help you quickly fill them up:
Set wildcards to specify test patterns, for example:
In other fields of the configuration settings, you can set environment variables and command-line arguments.
With Boost.Test version 1.62 or earlier, in case you get the Test framework quit unexpectedly message, set the following string in Program arguments:
--log_format=HRF --log_level=allSave the configuration, and it's ready for Run
or Debug
.
Running tests
In AppCode, there are several ways to start a run/debug session for tests, one of which is using special gutter icons. These icons help quickly run or debug a single test or a whole suite/fixture: 
Gutter icons also show test results (when already available): success 
or failure
