Collaboration diagram for TestXmlCheckWithBoost:

Win32 console application "TestXmlCheckWithBoost.exe" demonstrates the running of a unit test with Boost.Test lib and performing of XML checks using TestToolBox::XmlCheck.

Supported features

• check of XML trees and subtrees

• support for XPath navigation

• skipping specific attributes/nodes

• treating float attributes/nodes with configurable precision

Depends on

• TinyXpath (includes TinyXml)

• Boost.Test lib

• TestToolBox::XmlCheck

Typical code snippets

• comparing complete XML trees

       BOOST_MESSAGE("\nComparing two XML trees");
       BOOST_CHECK(TTB::TheXmlCheck()->Compare(&docA,&docB));
       BOOST_MESSAGE(TTB::TheXmlCheck()->GetCompareResult());
       

• comparing XML subtrees and ignoring attributes/nodes

       BOOST_MESSAGE("\nComparing two XML subtrees using XPath, ignoring time");
       TTB::TheXmlCheck()->IgnoreAttribute("time");
       BOOST_CHECK(TTB::TheXmlCheck()->Compare(
       TTB::XmlCheck::SubNodeFromXPath(docA.RootElement(), "/MyContainer/Group_B"),
       TTB::XmlCheck::SubNodeFromXPath(docB.RootElement(), "/MyContainer/Group_B")));
       BOOST_MESSAGE(TTB::TheXmlCheck()->GetCompareResult());
