For example: any resource loading check should be done with assume?
When should I use assume over assert?
(Note: i am looking for correct design of when to use one over the other)

To assume is to believe something without having definite proof, in its primary sense. To assert is to state that something is so.
Assumptions is a collection of utility methods that support conditional test execution based on assumptions. In direct contrast to failed assertions, failed assumptions do not result in a test failure; rather, a failed assumption results in a test being aborted.
The assertSame() method tests if two object references point to the same object. The assertNotSame() method tests if two object references do not point to the same object. void assertArrayEquals(expectedArray, resultArray); The assertArrayEquals() method will test whether two arrays are equal to each other.
You would use assume if you have circumstances under which some tests should not run at all. "Not run" means that it cannot fail, because, well, it did not run.
You would use assert to fail a test if something goes wrong.
So, in a hypothetical scenario where:
you would write a test which:
