We've generally put the test in a function in the .cc file where that function takes a filename as argument. The main() function then just calls the function with each of the .prm files we have, and the output file will simply contain all of the output of all .prm files concatenated. If you add a .prm file, you'd have to adjust the main() function and the .output file. This might not be the very most elegant solution, but it's worked reasonably well so far. The idea of the same executable (several .cc files all #includeing the same .h file that contains the test code) of course also works -- in the big picture, compile time and link time for tests are not negligible, but also not a terrible burden.
