  assert(3): abort program if assertion is false - Linux man page
If the macro NDEBUG was defined at the moment was last included, the macro assert() generates no code, and hence does nothing at all.
Otherwise, the macro assert() prints an error message to standard error and terminates the program by calling abort() if expression is false (i.e., compares equal to zero).
assert() is implemented as a macro; if the expression tested has side-effects, program behaviour will be different depending on whether NDEBUG is defined.

 Understanding How Assert Effects Security   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Assert is a security action that is evaluated at run time.
Using the Assert method to control access to resources or actions will allow your code to perform actions that it normally has permission to perform and will allow other callers up stream in the call stack to have access that they would not normally have.
When assembly number 2 asserts its file permissions, it is passing on its permissions to all its callers up stream in the call stack and the security checks for this asserted permission is checked no further up the stack than the assembly making the assertion.

 ASSERT -- Automatic Statistical SEmantic Role Tagger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
ASSERT is a automatic statistical semantic role tagger, that can annotate naturally occuring text with semantic arguments.
When presented with a sentence, it performs a full syntactic analysis of the sentence, automatically identifies all the verb predicates in that sentence, extracts features for all constituents in the parse tree relative to the predicate, and identifies and tags the constituents with the appropriate semantic arguments.
ASSERT is trained to tag: i) PropBank arguments, ii) Thematic roles, and iii) Opinions, in plain text.

ASSERT was the first major study of the safety and effectiveness of REMICADE in the treatment of AS.
Patients in the ASSERT study were assigned at random to different treatment groups.
The main goal of ASSERT was to find out how many patients would demonstrate a 20% or greater improvement in their signs and symptoms by the 24th week, as measured by a scale called the Assessments in AS (ASAS).

 Assert Parameters - Dev Shed
Assert Parameters C programming forum discussing all C derivatives, including C#, C++, Object-C, and even plain old vanilla C. These languages are low level languages, and used on projects such as device drivers, compilers, and even whole computer operating systems.
assert() is great for debugging, because it stops the code right where the problem occurs, rather than let the code proceed and fail later on down the line.
Sometimes, debugging code is a real pain in the neck, because the cause of the error is far away from where the error occurs (say, the result of using a null pointer causes a function four levels up the call stack to fail occasionally).

If test-form evaluates to false, assert signals a correctable error (denoted by datum and arguments).
Continuing from this error using the continue restart makes it possible for the user to alter the values of the places before assert evaluates test-form again.
The places are generalized references to data upon which test-form depends, whose values can be changed by the user in attempting to correct the error.

A class invariants is a type of internal invariant that applies to every instance of a class at all times, except when an instance is in transition from one consistent state to another.
The assert statement may, however, be used in conjunction with the "conditional compilation" idiom described in JLS 14.20, enabling the compiler to eliminate all traces of these asserts from the class files that it generates:

The assert() macro is one of those simple tools that would not seem to merit an entire column, but recently I have come across an alarming number of engineers who have not heard of it or do not use it.
The assert macro is defined in the assert.h file, which is part of the standard library.
In real-time applications, removing the asserts may lead to misbehavior that did not arise before-and the assertions will not be in place to detect the situation.

The ASSERT command is a form of InLineErrorHandling.
When asserts are off, the ASSERT command causes a minimal performance hit (less than the local command).
In this case the IF statement will test the condition and if it fails the assert will be executed; if set asserts is ON the message will appear, otherwise it won't.

Note that it is unnecessary to include the source code for the expression that failed in the error message; it will be displayed as part of the stack trace.
