There are many libraries ready for building & testing with CMake: Mentioned (Atomic, Filesystem, Log, JSON), Mine (Nowide, Locale) and likely all Peter is maintaining.

Histogram, too.

All libraries build under CMake. To see what of them have CMake tests, you can look at this CI run: https://github.com/boostorg/boost/actions/runs/9171879935/job/25217197221 This excludes Geometry because its tests take an (additional) hour. :-) Developer documentation (not yet quite finished) is here: https://github.com/boostorg/cmake/blob/develop/developer.md but it doesn't yet cover testing. (It's on my to-do list.) There are several ways to implement testing, for each one there's probably an existing library that can be used as a template. The easiest one is to use boost_test_jamfile, which takes an existing Jamfile in test/ and (simple-mindedly) interprets it to create CMake tests. Endian is an example of using this testing strategy: https://github.com/boostorg/endian/blob/develop/test/CMakeLists.txt https://github.com/boostorg/endian/blob/develop/test/Jamfile.v2
