I don't think it's necessarily a **bad thing**, but I do think we should **strive towards only having single asserts** in our tests. This means you write a lot more tests and our tests would end up testing only one thing at a time.

Having said that, I would say maybe half of my tests actually only have one assert. I think it only becomes a **code (test?) smell** when you have about five or more asserts in your test.
