## Why is this an issue?

In PHPUnit, to test that an exception is thrown in a given piece of code, the expectException*() methods or the @expectedException* annotations can be used. For such a test to succeed, something in the test method has to throw an exception with the awaited properties. Having an assertion at the end of such a test method, means that, if the test succeeds, that assertion was never evaluated because an exception was thrown before getting to that point.

### Noncompliant code example

    public function testA() {
        $o = new MyClass();
        $this->expectException(\Exception::class);
        $o->doSomething();
        $this->assertTrue($o->hasProperty()); // Noncompliant - This assertion might never get evaluated
    }

### Compliant solution

    public function testA() {
        $o = new MyClass();
        $this->expectException(\Exception::class);
        $o->doSomething();
    }

    public function testB() {
        $o = new MyClass();
        $this->assertTrue($o->hasProperty());
    }
