Does the boost unit test frame work provide a way to write a test that executes a couple of shell commands?

Specifically, I want to write a test that compiles a cmake project:

Nope, you have to use cmake tools for that.

I'm not asking b2 / boost test to understand and process a cmake file. Just to execute some shell commands and run a executable that is installed on the system.

Your question was unclear, as it sounded like you were asking about the Boost.Test library, which has no specific integration with b2 beyond any other separately compiled Boost library. To run shell commands with b2 see: https://boostorg.github.io/build/manual/develop/index.html#bbv2.builtins.raw In Christ, Steven Watanabe
