JUnitAssertAlwaysSucceeds.md

Pattern: JUnit - assert() always succeeds

Issue: -

Description

Rule that checks for JUnit assert() method calls with constant arguments such that the assertion always succeeds. This includes:

• assertTrue(true)
• assertTrue(99)
• assertTrue('abc')
• assertTrue([123])
• assertTrue([a:123])
• assertFalse(false)
• assertFalse('')
• assertFalse(0)
• assertFalse([])
• assertFalse([:)
• assertNull(null)

This rule sets the default value of the applyToClassNames property to only match class names ending in 'Test', 'Tests' or 'TestCase'.
