+# UnnecessaryBooleanAssertion
+
+*Usage:* 
+`pmd check -d <source code folder> -R category/java/errorprone.xml/UnnecessaryBooleanAssertion -format <output format>`
+
+*Description:*
+
+A JUnit test assertion with a boolean literal is unnecessary since it always will evaluate to the same thing.
+Consider using flow control (in case of assertTrue(false) or similar) or simply removing
+statements like assertTrue(true) and assertFalse(false).  If you just want a test to halt after finding
+an error, use the fail() method and provide an indication message of why it did.
+        
+
+*Example:*
+```java
+
+
+public class SimpleTest extends TestCase {
+    public void testX() {
+        assertTrue(true);       // serves no real purpose
+    }
+}
+
+        
+```
