Perform Assertions

This is a Ruby feature. Use the rspec-expectations RubyGem as documented here: 1 and 2.

• First install this gem: gem install rspec-expectations
• then in features/support/env.rb: require 'rspec/expectations'
• finally, you can assert like so: expect(actual_value).to eq("expected value")
