Descripción

**Description of the false positive**

Having an `assert` statement in the source code with a side effect may indeed be worth flagging however when `assert` is used in a test module, this warning provides very little value. I am not sure whether you distinguish between the source and the test modules (maybe CodeQL for Python is already aware of some patterns such as `"*_test.py"` or `"test_*.py"`), but I believe this warning shouldn't be reported for test modules as it's very common to have statements with side effects in the `assert` statements.
