FEST-Assert 1.0a1: Fluent Interface for Assertions

FEST-Assert is an "assertThat" library that provides a fluent interface for writing assertions. Its main goal is to improve test code readability and make maintenance of tests easier.

We are proud to announce that FEST-Assert 1.0a1 is out! This release includes many new features and improvements. Release notes and more information can be found here.

Example:

int removed = employees.removeFired();
assertThat(removed).isZero();
 
List newEmployees = employees.hired(TODAY);
assertThat(newEmployees).hasSize(6)
                        .contains(frodo, sam);
 
String[] newHires = employees.newHiresNames();
assertThat(newHires).containsOnly("Gandalf", "Arwen", "Gimli"); 

assertThat(yoda).isInstanceOf(Jedi.class)
                .isEqualTo(foundJedi)
                .isNotEqualTo(foundSith);

You can download the latest release here (file fest-assert-1.0a1.zip.) FEST-Assert requires Java SE 5.0 or later.
