Ideas for additional strict rules

[mhujer]

Here is a list of a ideas that may be implemented in the future:

• suggest assertInstanceOf(Foo::class, $a) instead of assertTrue($a instanceof Foo)
• suggest assertNotInstanceOf(Foo::class, $a) instead of assertFalse($a instanceof Foo)
• suggest assertArrayHasKey() instead of assertTrue(array_key_exists(..))
• suggest assertFileExists() instead of assertTrue(file_exists($filePath))

I think that assertArrayHasKey and assertFileExists are not that common and can be written in multiple ways, so I'm not sure about them.

BTW: It might be interesting to suggest assertCount and other already implemented rules also for assertEquals and not just assertSame. I know that it's a loose comparison but those more-specific asserts might also be loose comparisons as well?

Suggestions for specific rules instead of assertEquals should be handled by #6.

1. If both operands are boolean/string/integer, it would recommend using assertSame
2. And then the other rule would suggest changing it to a more specific assert 😄

I have more suggestions, and if I could help implement them 😸 :

• Suggest assertCount(1, $foo) instead of assertSame(1, sizeof($foo))
• Suggest assertContains('foo', [...]) instead of assertTrue(in_array('foo', [...]))
• Suggest assertEmpty($foo) instead of assertTrue(empty($foo))

Go for it 😊
