Sometimes Assertions (antithesis.com)

Antithesis talks about some very particular use cases, but they're not the first to explore this. SQLite has something similar in the form of their `testcase` macro. [1]

What's most shocking about their whole website is how it goes to show how unserious the software industry is at large with regards to testing. It's not surprising when a good chunk of the programmers I know are vehemently opposed to "adding too many assertions", let alone something like this.
