Is Java's assertEquals method reliable?

Question

I know that == has some issues when comparing two Strings. It seems that String.equals() is a better approach. Well, I\'m doing JUni

Answer 1

public class StringEqualityTest extends TestCase {
    public void testEquality() throws Exception {
        String a = "abcde";
        String b = new String(a);
        assertTrue(a.equals(b));
        assertFalse(a == b);
        assertEquals(a, b);
    }
}
