selfassertEqualstrueactive
SelfassertEqualstrueactive is a coined term used in software testing to describe a pattern that combines an equality assertion with a verification that a component remains active. The name fuses ideas from self-assertion in unit testing, the concept of equality checks, the boolean notion of true, and the notion of liveness or activity during operation. It is not a formal standard but a descriptive label used in some discussions to refer to a dual-condition test.
In practice, selfassertEqualstrueactive refers to tests that check two tightly related conditions in a single test
Advantages of this pattern include ensuring that a value and the system’s liveliness are simultaneously verified,
