title: Does the Boost testing framework support test dependencies?
body: <p>One of my favorite unit testing frameworks is <a href="http://phpunit.de/manual/3.8/en/index.html" rel="nofollow">PHPUnit</a> because it supports test dependencies (i.e. the ability to mark tests as dependent upon other tests, running the dependent tests conditionally on the success of their dependencies).  I've been using the <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/test/doc/html/index.html" rel="nofollow">Boost testing framework</a> more recently to test my C++ code, and while it suits most of my unit testing needs, it doesn't appear to support test dependencies.</p>
  
  <p>I've scoured the documentation for the Boost testing framework and have found <a href="http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/depends-on-question-td2707306.html" rel="nofollow">various</a> <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/boost-list/MtcvrVP0uXg" rel="nofollow">hints</a> that Boost supports this feature, but I've yet to find a documentation page or any concrete examples of test dependency support in Boost.  Are the previously given pages red herrings, or does the Boost testing framework actually support test dependencies?</p>
