Assertions for Web Tests

Introduction

We need assertions in order to know if our test execution was successful or not.

If we do not add assertions in our test cases, the values for Passed and Failed will be zero.

A test case can have more than one assertion.

Solution

Assertions can be added by using the Add Assertion action.
