Assertion

Without assertions, often known as checks, a test script is incomplete. Common assertions for testing web applications are the following:

• Page title (equals)
• Page text (contains or does not contain)
• Page source (contains or does not contain)
• Input element value (equals)
• Display element text (equals)
• Element state (selected, disabled, displayed)
