Selenium tests tend to make a lot of use of assertions, to check that some actions have been performed on the front-end or that some WebElement properties are the expected ones. And by assertions, I mean, mostly: assertEquals or assertTrue, as these are the most commonly used ones.
Assertions fail too often due to the condition they are checking not being fulfilled by the time the assertion code executes. Had the assertion run a few seconds later, in many cases, it would have passed. It’s all about timing. In my previous posts I described some of the WebDriverWait based methods you can find in my ‘thewaiter’ library. In this post I want to highlight how you can use these methods to replace your assertions. Continue reading Use waits as assertions for your Selenium tests →

When you have more than one assertion in your test, you might want one of two things:
- Have your tests fail once the first assertion failure is encountered.
- Have all your assertions run, no matter if they have passed or failed. Of course, after they are run, if there are failures, you want the test to fail, and also show you where the issues were.
