ambitShould

ambitShould is a software library that provides a fluent API for making conditional assertions in code. It is designed to simplify the process of writing tests and validating program logic by allowing developers to express conditions in a more readable and intuitive way. The library focuses on enabling assertions that are evaluated only when certain conditions are met, thus avoiding unnecessary checks and improving the clarity of test cases.

The core concept behind ambitShould revolves around a builder pattern. Developers construct assertion objects by chaining method calls, specifying conditions and the expected outcomes. This approach allows for complex logical structures to be represented with minimal boilerplate code. For example, one can define that a certain property should have a specific value only if another condition is true, and if that condition is false, a different assertion might be applied or no assertion might be made at all.

ambitShould aims to enhance the maintainability and readability of tests. By abstracting away the repetitive `if` statements often used in traditional assertion methods, it provides a more declarative style. This can be particularly beneficial in large codebases or projects with extensive test suites, where clear and concise test logic is crucial for understanding and debugging. The library supports various data types and common assertion patterns, making it a versatile tool for developers looking to refine their testing practices.
