• assert.not_equal(actual, expected, [failure_message])
  Checks if actual is not equal expected.

• assert.throw(function, params, [raised_message], [failure_message])
  Checks if a function throws an exception and optionally compare the throw error.

• assert.delta(actual_float, expected_float, [delta], [failure_message])
  Checks if actual_float and expected_float are equal within optional delta tolerance
