<code>expect_is()</code> is an older form that uses <code><a href="/link/inherits()?package=testthat&version=3.2.2" data-mini-rdoc="testthat::inherits()">inherits()</a></code> without checking
whether <code>x</code> is S3, S4, or neither. Instead, I'd recommend using
<code>expect_type()</code>, <code>expect_s3_class()</code> or <code>expect_s4_class()</code> to more clearly
convey your intent.

Software testing is important, but, in part because it is
frustrating and boring, many of us avoid it. 'testthat' is a testing
framework for R that is easy to learn and use, and integrates with
your existing 'workflow'.
