I'm not sure I understand the question. If you are referring to the unit 
tests: These tests are used to ensure that our code is relatively 
bug-free. As such, they should be so simple that they don't introduce new 
bugs (we don't want to introduce meta-tests...). The CppUnit library is 
sufficiently tested, although it crashes for me under certain 
circumstances.

A unit test is just a method in a class, so you can use any debugger to 
inspect it. IMO, a better way would be to introduce enough CppUnit 
assertions to show you exactly what goes wrong.

Hope this helps
