== Why is this an issue?

The use of ``++org.fest.assertions.Assertions.assertThat++`` by itself does nothing. You must combine it with another method that actually tests the value in use.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,java]
----
assertThat(name);  // Noncompliant

=== Compliant solution

[source,java]
----
assertThat(name).isNotNull();
