Refer the article New Selenium IDE – Commands (Selenese), for the complete list of Selenium IDE commands and their practical demonstrations.
verify is one of the commands in Selenium IDE.
The purpose of the verify command is to check the value stored in a variable is according to the expected result.
Difference between assert and verify commands
Though the purpose of assert and verify commands are same, verify command will act as a soft assertion.
If the verify command fails in Selenium IDE, the execution won’t stop and the steps which come after the failed verify step will be executed.
Whereas if the assert command fails during execution, the complete execution will stop there itself and the steps which come after the failed assert won’t be executed.
In this article, I am going to practically demonstrate verify commands in Selenium IDE for checking whether the retrieved title stored in a variable is according to the expected title text as shown below:
Let’s get started.
New Selenium IDE – verify command
Follow the below steps for practicing verify command in Selenium IDE along with me:
1) Let’s write the below code in Selenium IDE to check whether the title of the page that got retrieved and stored in a variable is the same as the expected title text.
| Command | Target | Value |
|---|---|---|
| open | http://omayo.blogspot.com/ | |
| store title | x | |
| verify | x | omayo (QAFox.com) |
After incorporating the commands in the above table, Our Selenium IDE should look like below:
2) Run the test and observe that the test will be passed as the retrieved title of the page is same as the expected title text:
We can intentionally fail this test by changing the expected value as shown below:
Here concludes the practical demonstration of verify command in Selenium IDE for checking the value stored in a variable with the expected value.
As already explained above, verify command when failed won’t stop the complete execution and the steps which come after the verify command will be executed. Whereas assert command when failed will stop the complete execution and the steps which after the assert command won’t be executed. The below screenshot proves it:
In the next article, I will practically demonstrate another Selenium IDE command.
