How to check if the text is present or not in Webpage Using Selenium Webdriver

TEXT

There could be two ways to achieve this. 

Way 1: Using gettext() method .

Way 2: Get the page source using getPageSource() method then verify. 

Demo: 

1. Navigating to google.com 

2. Identifying the button using ID property 

3. Getting the button text using gettext() methiod 

4. Comparing the expected and actual text using if-else 

Source Code :

package verifytest; 

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; 

import org.openqa.selenium.By; 

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; 

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; 

 public class verifytestpresent { 

    public static void main(String[] args) { 

        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); 

        driver.get("http://www.google.com"); 

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS); 

        //verify 'Google search' text from Search button in the web page or not using gettext() 

        String expectedtext = "Google Search";  

        //first way to verify by using locator and getText() method 

        String actualText = driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfba")).getText(); 

        if(actualText.contains(expectedtext)){ 

            System.out.println("1) Expected text '"+expectedtext+"' present in the web page found using gettext()."); 

        }else{ 

            System.out.println("1) Expected text '"+expectedtext+"' is not present in the web page found using gettext()."); 

        } 

        //Way 2 : Get the page source using getPageSource() method then verify.  

        String pageSource = driver.getPageSource(); 

        if(pageSource.contains(expectedtext)){ 

        System.out.println("2) Expected text '"+expectedtext+"' present in the web page found using getpageSource()."); 

        }else{ 

        System.out.println("2) Expected text '"+expectedtext+"' is not present in the web page found using getpageSource()."); 

        } 

    } 

}
