+     * INTRODUCTION
+     *
+     * When testing various CDS functionalities, we need to launch JVM processes
+     * using a "launch method" (such as TestCommon.run), and analyze the results of these
+     * processes.
+     *
+     * While typical jtreg tests would use OutputAnalyzer in such cases, due to the
+     * complexity of CDS failure modes, we have added the CDSTestUtils.Result class
+     * to make the analysis more convenient and less error prone.
+     *
+     * A Java process can end in one of the following 4 states:
+     *
+     *    1: Unexpected error - such as JVM crashing. In this case, the "launch method"
+     *                          will throw a RuntimeException.
+     *    2: Mapping Failure  - this happens when the OS (intermittently) fails to map the
+     *                          CDS archive, normally caused by Address Space Layout Randomization.
+     *                          We usually treat this as "pass".
+     *    3: Normal Exit      - the JVM process has finished without crashing, and the exit code is 0.
+     *    4: Abnormal Exit    - the JVM process has finished without crashing, and the exit code is not 0.
+     *
+     * In most test cases, we need to check the JVM process's output in cases 3 and 4. However, we need
+     * to make sure that our test code is not confused by case 2.
+     *
+     * For example, a JVM process is expected to print the string "Hi" and exit with 0. With the old
+     * CDSTestUtils.runWithArchive API, the test may be written as this:
+     *
+     *     OutputAnalyzer out = CDSTestUtils.runWithArchive(args);
+     *     out.shouldContain("Hi");
+     *
+     * However, if the JVM process fails with mapping failure, the string "Hi" will not be in the output,
+     * and your test case will fail intermittently.
+     *
+     * Instead, the test case should be written as
+     *
+     *      CCDSTestUtils.run(args).assertNormalExit("Hi");
+     *
+     * EXAMPLES/HOWTO
+     *
+     * 1. For simple substring matching:
+     *
+     *      CCDSTestUtils.run(args).assertNormalExit("Hi");
+     *      CCDSTestUtils.run(args).assertNormalExit("a", "b", "x");
+     *      CCDSTestUtils.run(args).assertAbnormalExit("failure 1", "failure2");
+     *
+     * 2. For more complex output matching: using Lambda expressions
+     *
+     *      CCDSTestUtils.run(args)
+     *         .assertNormalExit(output -> output.shouldNotContain("this should not be printed");
+     *      CCDSTestUtils.run(args)
+     *         .assertAbnormalExit(output -> {
+     *             output.shouldNotContain("this should not be printed");
+     *             output.shouldHaveExitValue(123);
+     *           });
+     *
+     * 3. Chaining several checks:
+     *
+     *      CCDSTestUtils.run(args)
+     *         .assertNormalExit(output -> output.shouldNotContain("this should not be printed")
+     *         .assertNormalExit("should have this", "should have that");
+     *
+     * 4. [Rare use case] if a test sometimes exit normally, and sometimes abnormally:
+     *
+     *      CCDSTestUtils.run(args)
+     *         .ifNormalExit("ths string is printed when exiting with 0")
+     *         .ifAbNormalExit("ths string is printed when exiting with 1");
+     *
+     *    NOTE: you usually don't want to write your test case like this -- it should always
+     *    exit with the same exit code. (But I kept this API because some existing test cases
+     *    behave this way -- need to revisit).
