Re: Blog: Four Ways to test Expected Exceptions

> Comments?

I haven't had occasion to use this method of testing exceptions (though
to be fair, I can't remember the last time I used *any* method for
testing exceptions), but your explanation is clear, and its use seems
much clearer and more precise than the previous method.  I'd much rather
use the new than the old, but that's true for other assertions, too.

After some initial apathy ("skepticism" is really too strong to describe
what I felt), I've pretty much started using the constraint methods
exclusively over the Assert syntax, sometimes even changing old test
code when I need to change what it's testing.  It just makes my code so
much easier to read and parse.  One other developer on my team, for whom
"skepticism" wasn't strong *enough*, has also switched after really
looking at the resulting test code, and output. :)
