2. Conditional Logic for Test Assertions

Conditional Statements in Test Automation

In automated testing, conditional logic verifies test results:

if (actualTitle.equals(expectedTitle)) {
    System.out.println("TEST PASSED: Page title matches");
} else {
    System.out.println("TEST FAILED: Title mismatch");
}

> Critical Rule: Always use .equals() or .equalsIgnoreCase() to compare String values in Java. Using == compares memory addresses, not characters!
