Assertions In Selenium

In this article, we will discuss assertions in selenium.

Purpose

Purpose of assertions is to check the condition and return true or false depends upon whether a test is passed or failed.

Syntax

Assert.assertEquals(actual, expected);

Here

Actual (string) – Actual value of the test.
Expected (string) – Expected output of the test.

If both actual and expected values are same then assertEquals will return true else false.

Scenario

In this example, we will check if the title of the website is ‘Gyan Sangrah’ or not. To accomplish this, we will follow these steps

Convert our application to TestNG application
Write a code for assertion
Run the application as TestNG application

Convert Our Application To Testng Application

To do that, you need to right click on the application and click on ‘Convert to TestNG’.

Write A Code For Assertion

Second step is to write code for assertion. See the following code

package com.FirstSeleniumProject;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class MyClass {
    @Test
    public void TestAnnotation() {
        WebDriver driver;
        String service = "IEDriverServer path";
        System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", service);
        driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
        driver.get("http://gyansangrah.com/");

        Assert.assertEquals(driver.getTitle(), "Gyan Sangrah");
    }
}

Run The Application As Testng Application

To run the application as TestNG, you can right click on the application and go to ‘Run As → TestNG Test.

Click to Enlarge

Once you run the application, a new tab ‘Results of running class MyClass’ is added besides ‘Console’ tab in eclipse.

There you can see the result of assertion.
