+# UseAssertEqualsInsteadOfAssertTrue
+
+*Usage:* 
+`pmd check -d <source code folder> -R category/java/bestpractices.xml/UseAssertEqualsInsteadOfAssertTrue -format <output format>`
+
+*Description:*
+
+This rule detects JUnit assertions in object equality. These assertions should be made by more specific methods, like assertEquals.
+        
+
+*Example:*
+```java
+
+
+public class FooTest extends TestCase {
+    void testCode() {
+        Object a, b;
+        assertTrue(a.equals(b));                    // bad usage
+        assertEquals("a should equals b", a, b);    // good usage
+    }
+}
+
+        
+```
