Assertion Best Practices
Use specific assertions (toBeNull, toContain, toHaveLength) over generic ones (toBe, toBeTruthy). Test one concept per assertion group. Include custom failure messages when the default isn't clear. Avoid asserting implementation details—test observable behavior. Prefer deep equality for objects. Assert negative cases too (doesn't contain, not called).
