All other usage variants employ the build-in test runners. If you plan to use an external test runner with your
test module you need to build it as a dynamic library. This usage of the <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> is called the external test runner
variant of the <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym>. The variant requires you to define the flag
<a class="xref" href="../../compilation.html#utf.flag.dyn-link">BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK</a> either in a makefile or before the header
<code class="filename">boost/test/unit_test.hpp</code> inclusion. An external test runner utility is
required to link with dynamic library.
</p>
<p class="first-line-indented">
If an external test runner is based on the test runner built in to the dynamic library (like the standalone
boost_test_runner utility supplied by the <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym>), it requires you to implement the <a class="link" href="../../user-guide.html#test-module.def">
test module</a> initialization function that matches the alternative initialization function signature. The
<acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> provides an ability to <a class="link" href="../initialization.html#utf.user-guide.initialization.auto-generation" title="Automated generation of the test module initialization function">automatically generate
</a> an empty test module initialization function with correct signature if no custom initialization is required
by a test module.
