What is the equivalent of XCTAssertNotNil in Swift Testing?

In Swift Testing, the equivalent of XCTAssertNotNil from XCTest is using the require macro to safely unwrap an optional value. If the value is nil, the test will stop, similar to how XCTAssertNotNil would cause a test to fail if the value is nil. This approach is part of the Swift Testing framework's design to use fewer specialized functions and instead rely on basic macros like expect and require to handle assertions.
For more details, you can refer to the session Meet Swift Testing (05:31) where the use of the require macro is discussed.

What’s new in Swift
Join us for an update on Swift. We’ll briefly go through a history of Swift over the past decade, and show you how the community has grown through workgroups, expanded the package ecosystem, and increased platform support. We’ll introduce you to a new language mode that achieves data-race safety by default, and a language subset that lets you run Swift on highly constrained systems. We’ll also explore some language updates including noncopyable types, typed throws, and improved C++ interoperability.
