TIOBE - Java Coding Standard

Rule: JUnit4

This rule is Obsolete
Synopsis:	JUnit tests should include assert() or fail()
Language:	Java
Severity Level:	4
Category:	JUnit

Description:

JUnit tests should include at least one assertion. This makes the tests more robust, and using assert with messages provide the developer a clearer idea of what the test does.

public class Foo extends TestCase {
  public void testSomething() {
      Bar b = findBar();
  // This is better than having a NullPointerException
  // assertNotNull("bar not found", b);
  b.work();
  }
}
