Misordered PHPUnit equality assertion method arguments
Reports the calls to PHPUnit equality assertion methods (such as assertEquals(), assertNotEquals(), assertSame(), and so on) that have a non-literal as the expected result argument and a literal as the actual result argument. Such calls will behave fine for assertions that pass, but may produce confusing error reports if their expected and actual arguments differ.
