JUnit4 fail() is here, but where is pass()?

Question

There is a fail() method in JUnit4 library. I like it, but experiencing a lack of pass() method which is not present in the library. Why is it so?

Answer 1

There is no need for the pass method because when no AssertionFailedException is thrown from the test code the unit test case will pass.

The fail() method actually throws an AssertionFailedException to fail the testCase if control comes to that point.
