manual-assert-equal

Prefer equality assertions over asserting a comparison

A boolean assertion receives only the result of an equality comparison, so a failure cannot report
the actual and expected values.
Instead, you SHOULD use assertEqual or assertNotEqual so both values are available to the
diagnostic.
