Synopsis:	JUnit assertions should include a message
Language:	Java
Severity Level:	3
Category:	JUnit

Description:

JUnit assertions should include a message - i.e., use the three argument version of assertEquals(), not the two argument version.

public class Foo extends TestCase {
 public void testSomething() {
  assertEquals("foo", "bar");
  // Use the form:
  // assertEquals("Foo does not equals bar", "foo", "bar");
  // instead
 }
}
