public class AssertionFailure
extends java.lang.AssertionError

An unchecked exception representing an Assertion failure.

Assertion failures should be raised when code finds itself in a state that should be impossible. It should not be raised in response to any predictable error condition. Assertion failures indicate that something has gone badly wrong, and that the assumptions under which library code has been developed are not holding.

This extends AssertionError, adding convenient constructors with messages and causes.
