What does the question mark at the end of a method name mean in Ruby?

What is the purpose of the question mark operator in Ruby?

Sometimes it appears like this:

assert !product.valid?

sometimes it's in an if construct.

It is a code style convention; it indicates that a method returns a boolean value (true or false) or an object to indicate a true value (or “truthy” value).
