Page title and URL retrieval in Selenium Java - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test opens a web page, retrieves its title and URL, and verifies they match expected values.

Test Code - JUnit

Selenium Java

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.AfterEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.*;

public class PageTitleUrlTest {
    private WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeEach
    public void setUp() {
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
    }

    @Test
    public void testPageTitleAndUrl() {
        driver.get("https://example.com");
        String title = driver.getTitle();
        String url = driver.getCurrentUrl();

        assertEquals("Example Domain", title);
        assertEquals("https://example.com/", url);
    }

    @AfterEach
    public void tearDown() {
        if (driver != null) {
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Test starts and Chrome browser opens	Chrome browser window is open and ready	-	PASS
2	Navigates to https://example.com	Browser displays the Example Domain page	-	PASS
3	Retrieves page title using driver.getTitle()	Title retrieved: 'Example Domain'	Check if title equals 'Example Domain'	PASS
4	Retrieves current URL using driver.getCurrentUrl()	URL retrieved: 'https://example.com/'	Check if URL equals 'https://example.com/'	PASS
5	Assertions for title and URL pass	Test confirms title and URL are correct	assertEquals for title and URL	PASS
6	Browser closes and test ends	Browser window closed	-	PASS
