If a ``++RuntimeException++`` is thrown while code is unit tested, it's likely to be thrown again in production. Therefore, test methods should be allowed to \``++throw RuntimeException++``s so you're alerted early to problems in the code.

@Test
public void testTheThing() {
try {
// ...
} catch (RuntimeException e) { // Noncompliant
}
