There are three kinds of commands: Actions, Checks, and Expectations.

Actions – functional action on the tested web application in the browser. For example, filling in fields, clicking a button and others;

Checks – performing checks on the tested page. For example, checking that a specific form field has a specified value, or checking the title of a window;

Expectations – organization of how, how much and what event Selenium will wait for (waiting for page load, ajax, etc.).

 

Checks in the test. Selenium uses 2 main checks:

assert* - "Statement" - this is a test, if that fails, the test fails.

verify* - "Check" - this is a check, if it fails, the test continues.

Checks of the "assert" type are used for critical checks, which if they do not pass, then there is no point in continuing the test at all. Verify checks are used for non-critical items.

• verifyLocation / assertLocation – checks the current URL of the browser window (| verifyLocation | url_needed ||)

• verifyTitle / assertTitle – checks the title of the window (|verifyTitle|title_needed||)

• verifyValue / assertValue – checks that the form field has the specified value (|verifyValue|field|value_needed|)

• verifyTextPresent / assertTextPresent – checks that the page text contains the specified text (|verifyTextPresent|text_needed||)

• verifyElementPresent / assertElementPresent – checks that an element is present on the current page (|verifyElementPresent|element_needed||)
