Element Validations

Difference between assertThat() and verifyThat():

Assertions and Verification testing are important components in GUI automation testing. Each one them performs a specific role:

1. In Assertions, if the assert is not met, TC execution will be aborted and the rest of the of TCs will be skipped and the TC execution result will be failed. Assertions are used as checkpoints for testing or validating business-critical transactions. This type of assertiosn is called Hard Assertion
2. In Verifications, even if ther verifications is not met, TC execution will continue to run until the last test is executed. The errors that may be found will be reported the end of the test suite. This type of verification is called Soft Assertion

Text Validations

text().isEqualTo()

validates the text of the element exactly as the expected

driver.element().assertThat(elementLocator).text().isEqualTo("Expected Text").perform();
driver.element().verifyThat(elementLocator).text().isEqualTo("Expected Text").perform();

text().equalsIgnoringCaseSensitivity()

validates the text of the elementsame as expected without considerating letters are capital or small .

driver.element().assertThat(elementLocator).text().equalsIgnoringCaseSensitivity("Expected Text").perform();
driver.element().verifyThat(elementLocator).text().equalsIgnoringCaseSensitivity("Expected Text").perform();

textTrimmed()

validates against the provided elements text attribute after it's trimmed (all leading and trailing space removed)

driver.element().assertThat(elementLocator).textTrimmed().equalsIgnoringCaseSensitivity("Expected Text").perform();
driver.element().verifyThat(elementLocator).textTrimmed().equalsIgnoringCaseSensitivity("Expected Text").perform();

Element Existence

exists()

Use this to check that the target element exists

driver.element().assertThat(elementLocator).exists().perform();
driver.element().verifyThat(elementLocator).exists().perform();

doesNotExist()

Use this to check that the target element does not exist

driver.element().assertThat(elementLocator).doesNotExist().perform();
driver.element().verifyThat(elementLocator).doesNotExist().perform();

Element States

isChecked()

Use this to check against the provided elements checked attribute

driver.element().assertThat(elementLocator).isChecked().perform();
driver.element().verifyThat(elementLocator).isChecked().perform();

isNotChecked()

Use this to check against the provided elements checked attribute

driver.element().assertThat(elementLocator).isNotChecked().perform();
driver.element().verifyThat(elementLocator).isNotChecked().perform();

isDisabled()

Use this to check against the provided elements disabled attribute

driver.element().assertThat(elementLocator).isDisabled().perform();
driver.element().verifyThat(elementLocator).isDisabled().perform();

isEnabled()

Use this to check against the provided elements disabled attribute

driver.element().assertThat(elementLocator).isEnabled().perform();
driver.element().verifyThat(elementLocator).isEnabled().perform();

isVisible()

Use this to check against the provided elements hidden attribute

driver.element().assertThat(elementLocator).isVisible().perform();
driver.element().verifyThat(elementLocator).isVisible().perform();

isHidden()

Use this to check against the provided elements hidden attribute

driver.element().assertThat(elementLocator).isHidden().perform();
driver.element().verifyThat(elementLocator).isHidden().perform();

isSelected()

Use this to check against the provided elements selected attribute

driver.element().assertThat(elementLocator).isSelected().perform();
driver.element().verifyThat(elementLocator).isSelected().perform();

isNotSelected()

Use this to check against the provided elements selected attribute

driver.element().assertThat(elementLocator).isNotSelected().perform();
driver.element().verifyThat(elementLocator).isNotSelected().perform();

Attributes Validations

attribute()

Use this to check against a certain element attribute

driver.element().assertThat(elementLocator).attribute("name").isEqualTo("expected value").perform();
driver.element().verifyThat(elementLocator).attribute("name").isEqualTo("expected value").perform();
