Product Decisions This Supports

Build vs. Buy: Eliminates the need to develop custom assertion logic from scratch, saving engineering resources and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Roadmap Prioritization: Enables teams to focus on core product development by offloading assertion handling to a lightweight, battle-tested library.
Custom Testing Tools: Ideal for building internal testing frameworks or extensions where full test runners (e.g., Codeception) would introduce unnecessary complexity.
CI/CD Optimization: Reduces pipeline overhead by providing minimal dependencies for reliable, fast-running test checks in automated workflows.

When to Consider This Package

✅ Adopt when:
- Needing standalone assertions outside a full test runner (e.g., custom scripts, CLI tools, or microservices testing).
- Existing Codeception users requiring isolated assertion logic for other projects.
- Prioritizing minimal dependencies and simplicity over advanced testing features.
- Requiring consistent, readable failure messages for quicker debugging.
❌ Look elsewhere when:
- Using PHPUnit (which includes its own robust assertions).
- Needing browser automation, parallel testing, or complex scenario orchestration (use Codeception or similar).
- Seeking high community adoption or enterprise support (this package has modest adoption at 104 stars).
- Project requires a comprehensive testing suite with built-in runners and plugins
