public class ThrowableAssertAlternative<T extends java.lang.Throwable>
extends AbstractAssert<ThrowableAssertAlternative<T>,T>

Assertion methods for Throwable similar to ThrowableAssert but with assertions methods named differently to make testing code fluent (ex : withMessage instead of hasMessage.

 assertThatExceptionOfType(IOException.class)
           .isThrownBy(() -> { throw new IOException("boom! tcha!"); });
           .withMessage("boom! %s", "tcha!"); 

This class is linked with the ThrowableTypeAssert and allow to check that an exception type is thrown by a lambda.
