+Assertion system
+================
+
+The ``\Behat\Mink\WebAssert`` class provides a set of assertions. There are assertions
+about the address of the page, the cookies, the status code, the response headers,
+the content of the page, the page elements...
+
+API with exceptions
+-------------------
+
+An assertion can improve code readability and avoid having a fatal error in method chaining.
+
+For example, instead of:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    $registerForm = $page->find('css', 'form.register');
+
+    if (null === $registerForm) {
+        throw new \Exception('The element is not found');
+    }
+
+    $field = $registerForm->findField('Email');
+
+    if (null === $field) {
+        throw new \Exception('The element is not found');
+    }
+
+    $field->setValue('foo@example.com');
+
+you can do:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    // Throw exception when not found instead of returning null.
+    $registerForm = $mink->assertSession()->elementExists('css', 'form.register');
+
+    $field = $mink->assertSession()->fieldExists('Email', $registerForm);
+
+    $field->setValue('foo@example.com');
+
+
+Webassert and multisessions
+---------------------------
+
+You could use an another session by calling ``assertSession`` with a session name
+or an instance of ``\Behat\Mink\Session``.
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    $mink->assertSession()->elementExists('css', 'form.register');
+    $mink->assertSession('goutte')->elementExists('css', 'form.register');
+    $mink->assertSession($mink->getSession('goutte'))->elementExists('css', 'form.register');
