#28 Check for unnecessary (boolean) parameters

[Lars Torunski]

After cleaning our source code which was developed by four different companies in the last few years, I found methods containing a boolean parameter which were always true or false. Sometimes only old unit tests used the other value.

Checking for unnecessary parameters which will always use the same parameter would be great.

Hi Lars,
this is a interesting feature. But similar as "feature request 2689156 Check for unnecessary return values" y think it is not so important and I think there are many false positives.
I added a low priority.

Hi Lars,

this problem is better addressed using code coverage analysis at runtime. Certainly you have to instrument a life system and not evaluate the coverage of your test suite.
