assert is based on 13!:8 http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dx013.htm

assert. is documented at http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/cassert.htm

One significant difference is that you can turn off assert. after you
are done testing (if the performance cost becomes significant) using
9!:35

The other difference is that you get some control over the error
number and messages when using assert (but of course, this extra
control is not always a good thing - there's little good in adding
extra noise, for example).

I hope this helps,
