+Customizing error messages
+--------------------------
+
+Each of the ``KUNIT_EXPECT`` and ``KUNIT_ASSERT`` macros have a ``_MSG``
+variant.  These take a format string and arguments to provide additional
+context to the automatically generated error messages.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	char some_str[41];
+	generate_sha1_hex_string(some_str);
+
+	/* Before. Not easy to tell why the test failed. */
+	KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, strlen(some_str), 40);
+
+	/* After. Now we see the offending string. */
+	KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ_MSG(test, strlen(some_str), 40, "some_str='%s'", some_str);
+
+Alternatively, one can take full control over the error message by using
+``KUNIT_FAIL()``, e.g.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	/* Before */
+	KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, some_setup_function(), 0);
+
+	/* After: full control over the failure message. */
