Another possible solution, to make sure that error have happened:

        $errorHappened = false;
        try {
            //call your code here 
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            $errorHappened = true;
            $this->assertEquals($e->getMessage(), "Expected error text");
            $this->assertEquals($e->getCode(), "Expected error code");
        }
        $this->assertTrue($errorHappened);
