Assert: Assert command checks whether the given condition is true or
false. If the condition is true then the program control will execute the next
test step but if the condition is false, the execution would stop and no
further test would be executed.
Verify: Verify command also checks whether the given condition is true or
false. Irrespective of the condition being true or false, the program
execution doesn’t halt i.e. any failure during verification would not stop the
execution and all the test steps would be executed.
XPath is used to locate a web element based on its XML path.
Single Slash “/” – Single slash is used to create Xpath with absolute path
Double Slash “//” – Double slash is used to create Xpath with relative path
