> When searching output for multiple strings it is easy to misexpress your intent, which could make a failing test pass. Such cases can be caught and reported to the programmer.
> 
> For example, for this search to succeed it is sufficient for the output to consist only of the `"error: bad"` string:
> 
> 
> checkOutput(..., "error:", "error: bad", ...)
