<p class="first-line-indented">
Boost Test Library components provide several usage variants: to create a test program you can
link with the one of the precompiled library variants or use single-header variant. For example, to use Unit Test
Framework you may either include the <<a href="../../../../boost/test/unit_test.hpp" target="_top"><code class="filename">boost/test/unit_test.hpp</code></a>>
and link with libunit_test_framework.lib or you can include <<a href="../../../../boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp" target="_top"><code class="filename">boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp</code></a>>
, in which case you should not need to link with any precompiled component. Note also that
you should strictly follow specification on initialization function in other case some compilers may produce linker
error like this.
</p>
<code class="computeroutput">Unresolved external init_unit_test_suite(int, char**).</code><p class="first-line-indented">
The reason for this error is that in your implementation you should specify second argument of
init_unit_test_suite exactly as in the specification, i.e.: char* [].

Use environment variable BOOST_TEST_LOG_LEVEL to define desired log trace level. You still will be able to reset
this value from the command line. For the list of acceptable values see the Unit Test Framework
<a class="link" href="utf/user-guide/runtime-config/reference.html#utf.user-guide.runtime-config.parameters">documentation</a>.
