Simplification

Summary

JUnit method declaration can likely be improved

Suppression

Suppress false positives by adding the suppression annotation @SuppressWarnings("JUnitMethodDeclaration") to the enclosing element.

Disable this pattern completely by adding -Xep:JUnitMethodDeclaration:OFF as compiler argument. Learn more.
