Webdriver "driver.getTitle()" And "assertEquals" With Example

What is the use of getTitle in Selenium?

getTitle()" in selenium is used to get the title of the page in selenium. Many people don't know how to get the title of a page in selenium webdriver. If you want to verify the title on Selenium automation testing then you should know how to get the window title in Selenium webdriver. If you want to store your current page title of a software web application in Selenium IDE then you can use the "storeTitle" command. Same way, If you want to assert the title of the software application page then you have to use

 "assertTitle" Command in selenium IDE. But here is a different way of using them. Let me give you an example to get it better.

gettitle in selenium java Example

package Testing_Pack;

import org.junit.Assert;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class mytestclass {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
  WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
  driver.get("http://only-testing-blog.blogspot.com");
  String i = driver.getCurrentUrl();
  System.out.println(i);
  String j = driver.getTitle();
  System.out.println("Your page title Is : "+j);
  Assert.assertEquals("Only Testing",j);
  Assert.assertEquals("Only Testing",driver.getTitle());
  driver.close();
 }
}

Look into the above example of gettitle in selenium. 

• First of all, webdriver will launch the Firefox browser and open the given URL.
• driver.getTitle() method will get the title of the page in selenium and then it will be stored in variable = 'j' and then it will be printed in console. Now you can use its value for other purposes too. You can do the same thing using "storeTitle" Command in Selenium IDE.
• Next, "assertEquals" will verify and assert if the value of variable 'j' not is the same as string = 'Only Testing'.
• Next, "assertEquals" will do the same thing. I used it 2 times here for your better understanding of how to use "assertEquals" with different conditions.
