Assertion Diversion
^^^^^
**Definition:**

* Where the wrong sort of assert is used, thus making a test failure harder to understand


**Code Example:**

.. code-block:: java

    Boolean isValid = false;
    if (actualResult.contains("foo")) {
        isValid = true;
    }
    assertEquals(true, isValid)
