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 == operator checks to see if two Objects are exactly the same Object."

String is an Object in java, so it falls into that category of comparison rules.
