Writing The Code

On the eclipse window that you’re seeing now, write the following code.

We are writing code in order to verify the title of the webpage.

CODE(self-explanatory):

package newpack;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
//comment the above line and uncomment below line to use Chrome
//import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class NewTest {
 WebDriver driver;
    @Test
    public void FirstTest() {
        // declaration and instantiation of objects/variables
     System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\Admin\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
  driver = new ChromeDriver();
  //comment the above 2 lines and uncomment below 2 lines to use Chrome
  //System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","G:\\chromedriver.exe");
  //WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
     
        String baseUrl = "https://www.lambdatest.com/";
        String expectedTitle = "LambdaTest - Perform all your tests on cloud";
        String actualTitle = "";
// launch Chrome and direct it to the Base URL
        driver.get(baseUrl);
// get the actual value of the title
        actualTitle = driver.getTitle();
/*
         * compare the actual title of the page with the expected one and print
         * the result as "Passed" or "Failed"
         */
        if (actualTitle.contentEquals(expectedTitle)){
            System.out.println("Test Passed!");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Test Failed");
        }
       
        //close Fire fox
        driver.close();
       
    }
}

After writing the code, save it and right-click on ‘New Test.java’ → Run as→ TestNG Test.

Once you click on it, you’ll see a chrome browser window opening the website that you’ve entered in your code to test. And it will automatically close as soon as the test is completed and in the output section below, you’ll see ‘Test Passed’ as the status of your test on the console below.
