Use the right assert type

cl_abap_unit_assert=>assert_equals( act = table
                                    exp = test_data ).

Asserts often do more than meets the eye, for example assert_equals includes type matching and providing precise descriptions if values differ. Using the wrong, too-common asserts will force you into the debugger immediately instead of allowing you to see what is wrong right from the error message.

" anti-pattern
cl_abap_unit_assert=>assert_true( xsdbool( act = exp ) ).
