Assertion

Assertion is a key concept in functional testing. In essence, assertions are used to declare the expected behavior or outcome of a test. The test fails when the behavior or outcome of the test does not conform with the expectation. Using assertion in testing brings many benefits, including speeding up the testing process and improving accuracy of results Using assertion-based testing can help testers catch errors immediately. It also has the potential to bring out subtle errors that are otherwise difficult to catch. What is Assertion? At the basic level, an assertion is just a Boolean expression. It contains a true and false binary. The expression is placed into the testing program and pertains to a certain section of the software being tested. The assertion itself encompasses an expression that describes the logic of the code under test. While the test runs without any errors, the assertion remains true. However, with any system error, the assertion becomes false. This is a clear indicator of an error and can be used in a variety of errors to help with testing. How is Assertion Used in Functional Testing? Assertion is used in functional testing in two ways. Testers can make use of hard or soft assertions, depending on their workflow and how they want the process to work after an error has occurred. With a hard assertion, any system error that causes the assertion to return a false result will stop the execution. Further steps in the execution will not go forward unless it...

Asserting is the act of claiming that something is the case—for instance, that oranges are citruses, or that there is a traffic congestion on Brooklyn Bridge (at some time). We make assertions to share information, coordinate our actions, defend arguments, and communicate our beliefs and desires. Because of its central role in communication, assertion has been investigated in several disciplines. Linguists, philosophers of language, and logicians rely heavily on the notion of assertion in theorizing about meaning, truth and inference. The nature of assertion and its relation to other speech acts and linguistic phenomena (implicatures, presuppositions, etc.) have been subject to much controversy. This entry will situate assertion within speech act theory and pragmatics more generally, and then go on to present the current main accounts of assertion. [ By an account of assertion is here meant a theory of what a speaker does (e.g., expresses a belief) in making an assertion. According to such accounts, there are deep properties of assertion: specifying those properties is specifying what asserting consists in. There must also be surface properties, which are the properties by which a competent speaker can tell whether an utterance is an assertion, for instance that it is made by means of uttering a sentence in the indicative mood. We shall classify accounts according two parameters. Firstly, we distinguish between normative and descriptive accounts. Normative accounts rely on...
