Pattern: Misused actual parameter in Assert.assertEquals

Issue: -

Description

Reports usages of org.junit.Assert.assertEquals([message,] expected, actual) where the actual parameter is a constant or a literal. Most likely it was intended to be the expected value.

Example of violations:

assertEquals(result, 2)
assertEquals("Message", result, 2)
assertEquals(result, 2.3d, 0.5d)
assertEquals("Message", result, 2.3d, 0.5d)
