Class Assert

org.junit.Assert

public class Assert
extends Object

A set of assertion methods useful for writing tests. Only failed assertions are recorded. These methods can be used directly: Assert.assertEquals(...), however, they read better if they are referenced through static import:

 import static org.junit.Assert.*;
    ...
    assertEquals(...);

org.hamcrest.Matcher does not currently document the meaning of its type parameter T. This method assumes that a matcher typed as Matcher<T> can be meaningfully applied only to values that could be assigned to a variable of type T.

Type Parameters:

T - the static type accepted by the matcher (this can flag obvious compile-time problems such as assertThat(1, is("a"))

Parameters:

actual - the computed value being compared

matcher - an expression, built of Matchers, specifying allowed values

     // Help! Integers don't work
     // expected: is <1>
     // got value: <0>
   assertThat("Zero is one", 0, is(not(1))) // passes
 

org.hamcrest.Matcher does not currently document the meaning of its type parameter T. This method assumes that a matcher typed as Matcher<T> can be meaningfully applied only to values that could be assigned to a variable of type T.

Type Parameters:
