Research direction

Start with the Soft Assertions section in the linked AssertJ documentation and review the linked satisfies Javadoc entry. Generalize the section to explain performing many assertions without stopping the test, then demonstrate how both satisfies and Soft Assertions address that challenge.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As of today, the documentation thoroughly explains how to use Soft Assertions, but there is no mention of satisfies, which can be a less intrusive option for simpler use cases.

We should generalize the section on Soft Assertions, describing the challenge of performing many assertions without stopping the test and demonstrating how satisfies and Soft Assertions can help solve it.
