# Tests Include Assertions

severity: error

defect_class: correctness
inline_tier: blocking
language: java

message: "Test method should include at least one assertion"

description: |
  Tests without assertions don't verify anything. They pass even
  if the code is broken. Use assertEquals, assertTrue, etc.

  ✅ FIX: Add meaningful assertions

  ```java
  @Test
  public void testAdd() {
      assertEquals(4, calculator.add(2, 2));  // GOOD
  }
  ```
