Assertions in Selenium

The document explains assertions in Selenium, defining them as statements that compare actual results with expected results. It outlines two types of assertions: hard assertions, which stop execution upon failure, and soft assertions, which allow execution to continue. Various assertion methods such as assertEquals, assertNotEquals, assertTrue, assertFalse, assertNull, assertNotNull, and assertAll are detailed, highlighting their specific functions and behaviors.

ASSERTIONS

IN SELENIUM
Definition:

The word Assertion mean -" A


statement that you strongly
believe is true".

"Assertion is used to compare


the actual result of an
application with the
expected result".Generally
assertions verifies whether
the application is same or not
when we check with our
expectation.
Types Of Assertions:
Hard Assertions
Soft Assertions (Verify
Methods)
Wait for method is also
consider as a type of
assertion
Hard Assert
A hard assertion does not
continue with execution until
the assertion condition is True.

Hard assertions usually throw an


Assertion Error whenever an
assertion condition fails.

The test case will be


immediately marked as Failed
when a hard assertion condition
fails.

By default, Assert in Selenium


WebDriver are Hard Asserts.
Soft Assert
A soft assertion continues with
test execution even if the
assertion condition fails.

Soft Assertion does not throw


any error when the assertion
condition fails but continues
with the next step of the test
case.
Assertion Methods:
assertEquals

assertNotEquals

assertTrue

assertFalse

assertNull

assertNotNull

assertAll()
assertEquals:
This is used to compare expected and
actual values in selenium webdriver.
Whenever the expected and actual
values are same, the assertion passes
with no exception. But, if the actual
and expected values are not just same,
the assert fails with an exception and
the test is marked as “failed”. The
suite continues to run with the next
@Test annotation(if any).

Assert.assertEquals(actual,expected);
assertNotEquals:
assertNotEquals is just opposite to
the functioning of assertEquals
assertion. Whenever the expected and
actual values matches, the assertion
fails with an exception and marks the
test-case as “failed”. The particular
testcase is aborted and execution
continuous with the next @Test
annotation.

Assert.assertNotEquals(actual,expected,
Message);
assertTrue:
When we are dealing with Boolean
conditions, we should use
assertTrue. This assertion returns
true if the applied condition
passes. If the condition is
false/fails, this assertion skips
the current method from execution.

Assert.assertTrue(condition);
assertFalse:
Assert.assertFalse checks the
Boolean value returned by a
condition is false or not. When a
condition value is true, the
assertion aborts the method by an
exception. This is basically
opposite to assertTrue.

Assert.assertFalse(condition);
assertNull:
This assertion checks for a
object, if it is null or not.
When an object is ‘null’ the
assertion returns an exception
resulting in aborting the test.

Assert.assertNull(object);
assertNotNull:
Assert.assertNotNull is vice-versa
of assertNull. When a object has
some value, the assertion aborts
the method with an exception.

Assert.assertNotNull(object);
assertAll:
When using assertAll(), it allows you to
verify all the assertions made in a test
case, and it collects all the assertion
errors in a single test case, instead of
failing the test immediately when an
assertion fails. This allows you to see
all the assertion errors in one go, which
can be helpful for troubleshooting and
debugging.

SoftAssert softAssert = new SoftAssert();


softAssert.assertAll();
