Unknown Test

Definition:

It occurs when a test method has an executable body but no assertions.

Consequences:

JUnit shows the test method as passing if the statements within the test method did not result in a thrown exception when executed.

Detection:

#. Identifying methods with executable body but no assertions. The detection consists of identifying test methods that do not assert any condition while meeting the criteria:

1. contain an executable body,

2. do not throw an exception,

3. do not contain the tags @Ignored or @Disabled,

4. do not call the System.out.print method
