Question

How can you use assertTrue and assertFalse in if statements? Just throwing in if statement in front does not work, gives me a syntax error, but it was worth a shot. I tried to make it a string and check value with value.equals() but assert gives an error saying you cannot convert to a string.

public class JNAWinRegTest extends TestCase {

    public static void main(String[] args) { 

    try { assertEquals("Windows 7 Professional", Advapi32Util.registryGetStringValue(WinReg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 
            "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "ProductName"));
        if(True) ){
            System.out.println("True");
        }else{
            if(False) ){
                System.out.println("False");    
            }
        }
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }                                              
        }  
    }

You just call assertEquals(expected, actual) – if expected.equals(actual), the test continues to the next line (and pass when it reaches the last line), if the condition is false, the test fails.

No need for additional if / else.
