repeat testcase in Boost test multiple times

Question

Is there a way to repeatedly run a unit-test or a set of unit-tests in Boost test?

Let say I have the following:

BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE(someSuite, someFixture)

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(someTest)
{
    ...
}

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END()

... and I'd like to run someTest with setup/teardown for let say 100 times.

You can always run your test program in a loop. I do not believe there is test case/suite level feature to do this now. Feel free to request one through the ticket.

According to boost config there is no option to specify multiple times execution.

It is possible to use some Linux commands like:

for i in `seq 10`; do command; done

This type of approach won't be suited when you want the command to generate a single report (e.g. JUnit). You'd have to strap together multiple reports into one. – celestialorb May 16 '23 at 05:39
