| Unlike the Buridan's donkey though, you shouldn't have problems deciding which one to use, since there are |
| clear reasons why would you prefer each one. |

| In most cases to compile a test module based on the <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> all you need to include is just the single header |
| <code class="filename">boost/test/unit_test.hpp</code>. This header includes internally most of the other |
| headers that contains the <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> definitions. Some advanced features, like the floating point comparison or the |
| logged expectations testing, are defined in independent headers and need to be included explicitly. |
