Is Assert.Fail() considered bad practice?

Question

I use Assert.Fail a lot when doing TDD. I\'m usually working on one test at a time but when I get ideas for things I want to implement later I quickly write an empty test where

Answer 1

With the good code I usually do:

void goodCode() {
     // TODO void goodCode()
     throw new NotSupportedOperationException("void goodCode()");
}

With the test code I usually do:

@Test
void testSomething() {
     // TODO void test Something
     Assert.assert("Some descriptive text about what to test")
}

If using JUnit, and don't want to get the failure, but the error, then I usually do:

@Test
void testSomething() {
     // TODO void test Something
     throw new NotSupportedOperationException("Some descriptive text about what to test")
}
