Description

Test assertions can be made more concise through the utilization of a more specialized assertion method.

This rule checks for the use of equals in assertTrue or assertFalse methods and suggests replacing with either an assertEquals or assertNotEquals method.

This enhances the error message clarity and improves the overall readability of the assertion for other developers.

Non-Compliant Code Examples

import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;

class Foo {
    Object a,b;
    @Test
    void testFoo() {
        assertTrue(a.equals(b)); // could be assertEquals(a, b);
        assertTrue(!a.equals(b)); // could be assertNotEquals(a, b);

        assertFalse(a.equals(b)); // could be assertNotEquals(a, b);
        assertFalse(!a.equals(b)); // could be assertEquals(a, b);
    }
}

Compliant Code Examples

import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;

class Foo {
    Object a,b;
    @Test
    void testFoo() {
        assertEquals(a, b);
        assertNotEquals(a, b);

        assertNotEquals(a, b);
        assertEquals(a, b);
    }
}
