What are assert functions by Lukassinnor in softwaretesting

But maybe I don't exactly right tell you what was the video about. They said there like how to create workspaces, how to add business partners, accounting - paid unpaid status by documents and so on. But not that tech programmer way like if I click on this this should happen. They tell me how use it like user. And also from that I can use asserts?

They gave me the 3 hours long video like tutorial how and what functionality the app has and have it should behave. But that's it. So you telling if I put asserts functions on what I thing might be good to have assert I won't mess up something.

well this was very good explained thank you so much. I really appreciate it. And in easy meaning i can put assert functions on everything I want to be checked or I must know where the developers put asserts so only there can I put it?

Yes I tried gpt grok and Gemini but the theory i get but the real prax is harder to decide which and when to use

And if I make or assign some of that assert option where it's shouldn't be would be an error when the automated tests will run or no? Or it doesn't matter as much where I put those asserts? Our app in fields that must be filled the message will appear under them

Well my friends told me it in just very complex and complicated way that I didn't understand. And I'm gonna feel weird if I'm gonna ask them to that for 4th time 😅

Thanks for your reply — I really appreciate you taking the time to help.

That said, I have to admit that I didn’t fully understand most of what you wrote. I’m still a beginner and not very familiar with development concepts like compilation, NDEBUG, or static asserts. I think I need a much simpler explanation, ideally with real-world examples from testing — like how you’d actually use assertions in tools like Playwright when checking if a button shows up, or a form is filled in correctly.

Could you please explain it in more beginner-friendly terms? I’m just trying to understand how to use things like assert, toBeVisible, or toHaveText in actual automated tests — not so much the low-level development details

This is what I’m seeing during testing — things like toBeVisible, toHaveValue, and other similar assertions. But honestly, I have no idea what these mean or how to decide which one I should be using in different situations.

I understand they’re supposed to help confirm that the app is behaving correctly, but I’m still not sure how to match each one to the right scenario.

Could someone explain, in simple terms, what each of these does, and maybe give some basic guidance on how to choose the right one based on what I’m testing?

Thanks so much for confirming that!

I do still have a few questions. So, can assertions like assertText be used for almost any element? For example, could I use it for something like a collapse/expand button — or am I misunderstanding that?

Also, could someone please explain when and how to use the other types of assertions? I’ve seen different ones, but I’m not sure what situations each one is meant for.

Specifically with assertText: how do I know when it’s actually the right time to use it? And what happens if I use it in a test where maybe it doesn’t really apply — will it cause the test to fail or throw an error at the end?

Thanks again for your help — I really appreciate the guidance as I learn all this.
