Unit test framework and environment initialization/finalization
Hello all, My name is Aleksandr Vinokurov, I've just read the site docs on Boost.Tests and now I start writing tests. And realized that there were nothing told about initialization and finalization of the environment of the test suite. I mean some kind of solid calling my finalization function to properly stop the environment, like a try {} final {} in Java -- even if the test fails by BOOST_REQUIRE or BOOST_FAIL. Any suggestions or recommendations from gurus? Oh, just remembered: I use 1.33 version of Boost.

You should use Fixtures.
Oh, just remembered: I use 1.33 version of Boost.
This release did not have internal support for fixtures, but you can do regular C++ RAII based solution. Implement fixture class (init in contructor, teardown in destructor) and instantiate it on a first line of test method. Gennadiy
