Introduction
Asserts and Verify methods are used in automation tests for validating the application behavior to match the expectations. In this tutorial, we will learn the difference between Assert and Verify and how to use them in automation tests.
assert <application value during test> vs <expected value as per requirement>
verify <application value during test> vs <expected value as per requirement>
Assert
Assert is also known as Hard Assert. Hard Assert makes the test execution to abort if the assert condition is not met. The test is marked as failed.
Verify or SoftAssert
Using SoftAssert when an assertion fails, it doesn’t throw an exception but records the failure. Also, soft assert allows all assertions to run, no matter if they pass/fail.

The checks in Selenium automation tests usually are in
- assertX()
- verifyX()
The difference between assert and verify is that :
assert: The test will stop if the assert fails.
verify: The test will continue even if the verify fails. We can run many verify statements to check if they are as expected during the test run.
