Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #5599: boost::test documentation gives poor instruction. https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5599 <p> I know that the subject line is probably not great. </p> <p> <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/test/doc/html/intro.html">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/test/doc/html/intro.html</a> states that it is not intended for anyone with basic needs to actually read through the documentation. It then provides links to the basic unit testing information and the tutorials, effectively skipping over the section that explains about the "single header" or "precompiled" options for using the library. </p> <p> It basically jumps past the minimal setup requirements right to how to use the library, leaving the new user to have to search to find out why their test program didn't compile first try. </p> <p> It may be better to either include this information either at the beginning of the tutorials, or to have a link to this information on the introduction page and then link to the tutorials from there. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5599 Trac 1.4.3 Kenneth Burling <burlingk@…> Wed, 08 Jun 2011 12:45:52 GMT component changed; owner set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5599#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5599#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> set to <span class="trac-author">René Rivera</span> </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">None</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">website</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Kenneth Burling <burlingk@…> Wed, 08 Jun 2011 13:00:48 GMT owner, component changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5599#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5599#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> changed from <span class="trac-author">René Rivera</span> to <span class="trac-author">Matias Capeletto</span> </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">website</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Documentation</span> </li> </ul> <p> Changing component to Documentation. </p> Ticket anonymous Wed, 08 Jun 2011 14:33:34 GMT owner, component changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5599#comment:3 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5599#comment:3 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> changed from <span class="trac-author">Matias Capeletto</span> to <span class="trac-author">Gennadiy Rozental</span> </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">Documentation</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">test</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Gennadiy Rozental Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:48:08 GMT status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5599#comment:4 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5599#comment:4 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> Documentation structure is reworked somewhat (trunk version).
