24714	Use more specific assertions than assertEqual in tests	Alasdair Nicol	Alasdair Nicol	"There are a few places in the tests where we are using self.assertEqual that could be more idiomatic.

{{{
self.assertEqual(None, x)  # prefer self.assertIsNone(x)
self.assertEqual(True, x in y) # prefer self.assertIn(x, y)


self.assertEqual(True, x)  # self.assertTrue(x) may be appropriate, but care is needed because it will pass for truthy values
self.assertEqual(False, x)  # self.assertFalse(x) may be appropriate, but care is needed because it will pass for falsey values
self.assertEqual(True, x == y) # prefer self.assertEqual(x, y)
}}}

I found these using the following greps

{{{
grep -rI assertEqual.True
grep -rI assertEqual.False
grep -rI assertEqual.None
}}}
