Usage of obsolete 'junit.framework.Assert' method

Reports any calls to methods from the junit.framework.Assert class. This class is obsolete and the calls can be replaced by calls to methods from the org.junit.Assert class.

For example:

  import org.junit.*;
  public class NecessaryTest {
    @Test
    public void testIt() {
      junit.framework.Assert.assertEquals("expected", "actual");
    }
  }

After the quick fix is applied, the result looks like the following:

  import org.junit;
  public class NecessaryTest {

    public void testIt() {
      Assert.assertEquals("expected", "actual");
    }
  }
