What are assertions or NSAssert good for in practice?

Question

I wonder if it\'s a good habit to use NSAssert all over the place? What would be the benefit of doing that? In which situations is it a good idea to use it?

Answer 1

I highly recommend this article

And as the article states it is often good to use a assert-mechanism which is not NSAssert. For example:
