Hmmm QuantLib::testsuite is already using boost::testing. So the linking
is already there and no additional work needs to/ should be done.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
