+Assert module
+=============
+
+For XPCShell tests and mochitests, ``Assert`` is already present as an
+instantiated global to which you can refer - you don't need to construct it
+yourself. You can immediately start using ``Assert.ok`` and similar methods as
+test assertions.
+
+The full class documentation follows, but it is perhaps worth noting that this
+API is largely identical to
+`NodeJS' assert module <https://nodejs.org/api/assert.html>`_, with some
+omissions/changes including strict mode and string matching.
+
+.. js:autoclass:: Assert
+ :members: ok, equal, notEqual, strictEqual, notStrictEqual, deepEqual, notDeepEqual,
+ greater, less, greaterOrEqual, lessOrEqual, stringContains, stringMatches,
+ throws, rejects, *
