ExpectationsCreation

trait ExpectationsCreation extends ResultChecks

Base trait to create expectations.

An expectation is a value which can have an optional description and which can be matched to produce a result (for example against an expected value)

When a result is produced it can possibly be thrown as an exception based on the behaviour of the ResultChecks trait
