I am working on Unit Testing for my current project and came across something odd. The .Net UnitTesting library has both Assert.Equals and Assert.AreEqual. The remarks for Assert.Equals say to use Assert.AreEqual to compare two objects, but gives no reason as to why to do so over Assert.Equals. Can somebody explain when you should use Assert.Equals in unit testing, if ever and the difference between Assert.Equals and Assert.AreEqual?

AreEqual(Object, Object, String)Tests whether the specified objects are equal and throws an exception if the two objects are not equal.
assertEqual() in Python is a unittest library function that is used in unit testing to check the equality of two values. This function will take three parameters as input and return a boolean value depending upon the assert condition. If both input values are equal assertEqual() will return true else return false.
7. What is the purpose of assertArrayEquals(“message”, A, B)? Explanation: Asserts the equality of the A and B arrays.
assertTrue is used to verify if a given Boolean condition is true. This assertion returns true if the specified condition passes, if not, then an assertion error is thrown.
Assert.Equals is just the Equals method inherited from object. It has nothing to do with unit testing, and in fact, has no use.
To be more precise, Assert.Equals is exactly the same as Object.Equals. Object.Equals has a use.
However, if you're using Assert.Equals, then you're probably confusing it with Assert.AreEqual, and you want to stop using it.
