TestNG Integration

Assertions and Reporting

Learning Outcome

5

Validate page title, URL, and element text during testing

4

Apply SoftAssert to verify multiple conditions in a test

3

Use assert methods to validate application behavior

2

Differentiate between Hard Assertions and Soft Assertions

1

Understand the role of assertions in test automation

Hard vs. Soft Assertions

Type

Behavior

Description

Hard Assert

Soft Assert

Continues execution even after failures

Stops test immediately if condition fails

Execution is aborted

All failures reported at the end

  • Hard assertions use
  • Soft assertions use 
org.testng.Assert class
org.testng.asserts.SoftAssert class

Using Assert Class for Critical Checks

@Test 
public void testTitle() { S
tring expected = "Dashboard"; 
String actual = driver.getTitle(); 
Assert.assertEquals(actual, expected); 
}

  • assertTrue(condition)

Verifies a condition evaluates to true

  • assertFalse(condition)

Verifies a condition evaluates to false

  • assertNotNull(object)

Confirms an object reference is not null

Soft Assertions: Check Everything, Then Fail

SoftAssert soft = new SoftAssert();

Create SoftAssert Instance

Add Multiple Assertions

soft.assertEquals(driver.getTitle(), "Home");

soft.assertEquals(driver.getCurrentUrl(), "https://example.com");

Report All Failures

soft.assertAll(); // Required to report failures

Assert Title, URL, and Element Text

1. Verify Page Title

Assert.assertEquals(driver.getTitle(), "Dashboard");  

2. Check Current URL

Assert.assertTrue(driver.getCurrentUrl().contains("dashboard")); 

3. Validate Element Text

String text = driver.findElement(By.id("greet")).getText();

Assert.assertEquals(text, "Welcome User");

Summary

5

Without assertions, tests may run successfully but verify nothing

4

Assertions help validate title, URL, and page elements

3

Soft assertions continue test execution and report failures later

2

Hard assertions stop the test immediately when a failure occurs

1

Assertions verify whether expected results match actual results
