+## Rule details
+
+This rule warns when you do an assertion about being `null` or `undefined` on
+something that cannot be those types, as that indicates either the assertion can
+be removed or the types need to be adjusted.
+
+The following patterns are considered warnings:
+
+```ts
+expect('hello world'.match('sunshine') ?? []).toBeNull();
+
+expect(User.findOrThrow(1)).toBeDefined();
+
+expect(map.getOrInsert('key', 'default')).not.toBeUndefined();
+```
+
+The following patterns are not considered warnings:
+
+```ts
+expect('hello world'.match('sunshine')).toBeNull();
+
+expect(User.findOrNull(1)).toBeDefined();
+
+expect(map.get('key')).not.toBeUndefined();
+```
