Interface Assertable

All Known Implementing Classes:

InstanceOf, IsNull, IsTrue, NotEmpty, NotNull

public interface Assertable

Assertion enable the programmer to validate arguments, useful for catch error at runtime when the developer broke a contract.

For example, if a public method does not allow null arguments or must return not null values, asserts can be used to protect against contract violations or class's invariants, ensuring preconditions and postconditions.
