Isn’t it true that every assert statement can be translated to an Assert.IsTrue, since by definition, you are asserting whether something is true or false?

Why is it that test frameworks introduce options like AreEquals, IsNotNull, and especially IsFalse? I feel I spend too much time thinking about which Assert to use when I write unit tests.

    You can use Assert.IsTrue all the time if you prefer. The difference is Assert.AreEqual and the like will give you a better error message when the assertion fails.

    NUnit (and probably other frameworks) now supports syntax like this:

    Assert.That(foo, Is.Equal.To(bar))
