/**
 * Rule that checks for JUnit assert() method calls with constant arguments
 * such that the assertion always succeeds. This includes:
 * 
 *   assertTrue(true).
 *   assertTrue('abc').
 *   assertTrue(99).
 *   assertTrue([123]).
 *   assertTrue([a:123]).
 *   assertFalse(false).
 *   assertFalse(0).
 *   assertFalse('').
 *   assertFalse([]).
 *   assertFalse([:]).
 *   assertNull(null).
 * 
 * This rule sets the default value of applyToFilesMatching to only match source code file
 * paths ending in 'Test.groovy' or 'Tests.groovy'.
