             Summary: Clean test cases by refactoring assertFalse(equals()) 
using assertNotEquals & @Test(excepted) using assertThrows
                 Key: HIVE-27645
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-27645
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Taher Ghaleb


I am working on research that investigates test smell refactoring in which we 
identify alternative implementations of test cases, study how commonly used 
these refactorings are, and assess how acceptable they are in practice.

The first smell is when inappropriate assertions are used, while there exist 
better alternatives. For example, {{{_}assertNotEquals(x, y){_};}} is more 
appropriate to use instead of {_}{{assertFalse(x.equals(y));}}{_}.

The second smell is when exception handling can alternatively be implemented 
using assertion rather than annotation. For example, 
_{{{}assertThrows({}}}{{{}Exception{}}}{{{}.class, () -> \{...});{}}}_ is more 
appropriate to use instead of  {{{}_@Test(expected = Exception.class)_{}}}.

While there could be several cases like this, we aim in this pull request to 
get your feedback on these particular test smells and their refactorings. 
Thanks in advance for your input.
