Here is the list of deprecated test tools used in Boost Test version 1 and their new analogs:
| Old tool | New analog tool |
| BOOST_TEST( predicate ) | BOOST_CHECK( predicate ) |
| BOOST_CRITICAL_TEST( predicate ) | BOOST_REQUIRE( predicate ) |
| BOOST_CRITICAL_ERROR( message ) | BOOST_FAIL( message ) |
The main reasons for making these changes were conciseness and uniformity. Old deprecated names are still accepted but may be excluded in a future releases. Thanks for Ullrich Koethe, who originally proposed new names.
