An assertion is not a test, it is a tool which is used inside a test to
decide whether the test fails or not.

One test can contain multiple assertions, if one is not true, the test
fails. The test also fails, if there is an error.

Look at the picture. There are four tests, each failing, because an an
assertion was not true or an error occured.

Tests can be huge, but then they usually contain more than one assertion.

As I know it, one single test is handled in a testmethod which can
contain one or multiple assertions. This testmethod can executed alone
or together with other testmethods one after another.


Alles Gute
