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

The JUnit assertEquals(obj1, obj2) does indeed call obj1.equals(obj2).

There's also assertSame(obj1, obj2) which does obj1 == obj2 (i.e., verifies that obj1 and obj2 are referencing the same instance), which is what you're trying to avoid.

So you're fine.
