== Why is this an issue?

JUnit assertions should not be made from the ``++run++`` method of a ``++Runnable++``, because failed assertions result in ``++AssertionError++``s being thrown. If the error is thrown from a thread other than the one that ran the test, the thread will exit but the test won't fail.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,java]
----
public void run() {
  // ...
  Assert.assertEquals(expected, actual);  // Noncompliant
}
----

I am guessing here and so the answer should probably part of the RSPEC : The run method is a run method of a Thread class ?

Since you're already implementing this [~nicolas.peru], I'm guessing it's okay.

\[~ann.campbell.2]yes, more especially with the the mention of ``++Runnable++``
