Split conditional expressions into two different parameters

Definition:

The refactoring consists of splitting the conditional expression of the assertTrue or assertFalse methods into two parameters for an adequate assert method. For example:

• Instead of calling the .equals within the assertTrue, developers should

use the assertEquals method, * Instead of using operators as == within the assertTrue, developers should use the assertEquals method, * Instead of using the .contains within the assertTrue, developers should use the assertThat method.

Example from practice

The following code snippet present the refactoring for the `testPhases < https://github.com/apache/cxf/commit/4955ca652f16e781524612383af27c650e10cbdc>`_ test method of the Cxf project. It contains an assertTrue method checking whether two objects (cxfPhases and defaultPhases) are equal (lines 171 and 175, highlighted in red). The refactoring consists of:

1. removal of the .equals method within the assertTrue,

2. replace the assertTrue method with the assertEquals method,

3. pass the two objects as parameters in the assertEquals (lines 171 and 175, highlighted in green).
