TestNG: assertFalse: Assert condition is false

'assertFalse' method is used to assert that a condition is false. It is available in below two forms.

public static void assertFalse(boolean condition)

public static void assertFalse(boolean condition, String message)

When the assertion failed, then the test case fails with given message.

Calculator.java

package com.sample.app.arithmetic;

public class Calculator {
 public int add(int a, int b) {
  return a + b;
 }

 public int subtract(int a, int b) {
  return a - b;
 }

 public int mul(int a, int b) {
  return a * b;
 }

 public int div(int a, int b) {
  return a / b;
 }

 public int remainder(int a, int b) {
  return a % b;
 }

 public boolean isEven(int number) {
  return number % 2 == 0;
 }

 public boolean isOdd(int number) {
  return number % 2 != 0;
 }
}

AssertFalseTest.java

package com.sample.app.assertions;

import static org.testng.Assert.assertFalse;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import com.sample.app.arithmetic.Calculator;

public class AssertFalseTest {
 private Calculator calc = new Calculator();

 @Test
 public void isEven_4_true() {
  assertFalse(!calc.isEven(4));
 }

 @Test
 public void isEven_5_false() {
  assertFalse(calc.isEven(5));
 }

 @Test
 public void failMe() {
  assertFalse(true, "Failing the test case");
 }
}

Run ‘AssertFalseTest.java’, you will see below messages in console.
