Re: [ALL] Use of assert checks in code

Java assertions only make sense in specific cases. Never in test code, use JUnit for that (or TestNG). It might make sense in low level libraries to enable some semantic checking which can be enabled on the CLI. This might be more convenient instead of "if debug is on AND some condition then thro
