One of the many good uses of assertions is to catch cases that Should Never Happen.
The textbook example is the last branch of a multi-way conditional statement where one of the conditions before the final "else" must always be true.
Another, where there must always be an element to be found:
» for each x in ...
» » if x satisfies ...
» » » return x
» assert false

I use assert in lisp, which automatically generates an interactive in-context failure resolution which I utilize in the article, where the lazy cotruncation series feature was not wanted. Shows off a #lisp useage: classic.
@vnikolov what do you think of this example of assert viz your assertables?

Prove me wrong.
If you have many assertions, you can also use the SoftAssertions to test all the assertions and give all the results at once.

I should have know this would happen. I've basically asked for this crash by placing a Q_UNREACHABLE() statement in that very line...
ASSERT failure in Q_UNREACHABLE(): "Q_UNREACHABLE was reached", file .../mainwindow.cpp, line 666
J'ignorais complètement qu'assertj disposait d'un plugin maven permettant de générer des assertions pour les classes que j'écris. C'est très cool! https://github.com/assertj/assertj-assertions-generator #java #maven #assertions #test #générateur #code
Une façon intéressante d'écrire des assertions, quelquesoit le framework de test, pour éviter qu'elles ne plantent à la première erreur mais affichent plutôt un rapport agrégé. https://foojay.io/today/soft-assertions-testing-kindly/ #java #test #assertions #astuce
...good enough. And if it doesn't fail, you might be testing the wrong thing. In fact, sometimes, after fixing a bug and getting a green test, I remove the fix to see if that test fails again. Just to be on the safe side.
