Assertion (software development)
In
computer programming
, an
assertion
is a
statement
that a
predicate
(
Boolean-valued function
, a true–false
expression
) is expected to always be true at that point in the code. If an assertion evaluates to false at run time, an assertion failure results, which typically causes the program to
crash
, or to throw an assertion
exception
.
