+ * The difference with the {@link Assertions} class is that the entry point methods are named then
+ * instead of assertThat.
+ *
+ * The navigation methods are defined in navigation package.
+ * The assertion methods are defined in assertions package.
+ *
+ * Example with a {@link Source} and a {@link Table} with test on the content on the first row of the {@code movie} + * table that the {@code title} column contains "Alien" as text and the next column contains 1979 as a number : + *
+ * + *
+ *
+ * Source source = new Source("jdbc:h2:mem:test", "sa", "");
+ * Table table = new Table(source, "movie");
+ * then(table)
+ * .row()
+ * .value("title")
+ * .isEqualTo("Alien")
+ * .returnToRow()
+ * .value()
+ * .isEqualTo(1979);
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ * + * It is possible to chain assertion on a value : + *
+ * + *
+ *
+ * then(table)
+ * .row()
+ * .value("title")
+ * .isText()
+ * .isEqualTo("Alien");
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ * It is not necessary to use the returnToXxxx methods. The next example is equivalent to the first :
+ *
+ *
+ * Source source = new Source("jdbc:h2:mem:test", "sa", "");
+ * Table table = new Table(source, "movie");
+ * then(table)
+ * .row()
+ * .value("title")
+ * .isEqualTo("Alien")
+ * .value()
+ * .isEqualTo(1979);
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ * + * It is possible to do the same thing with column and the row : + *
+ * + *
+ *
+ * then(table)
+ * .row()
+ * .value("title")
+ * .isEqualTo("Alien")
+ * .row()
+ * .value()
+ * .isEqualTo("The Village")
+ * .column("year")
+ * .value(1)
+ * .equalTo(2004);
