You could retrieve the body text of the whole page like this   bodyText   self driver find element by tag name  body   text   then use an assert to check it like this   self assertTrue  the text you want to check for  in bodyText    Of course  you can be specific and retrieve a specific DOM element s text and then check that instead of retrieving the whole page

There is no verifyTextPresent in Selenium 2 webdriver  so you ve to check for the text within the page source  See some practical examples below   Python  In Python driver you can write the following function   def is text present self  text       return str text  in self driver page source   then use it as   try  self is text present  Some text    except AssertionError as e  self verificationErrors append str e     To use regular expression  try   def is regex text present self  text      i Example Lorem ipsum        self assertRegex self driver page source  text      return True   See  FooTest py file for full example   Or check below few other alternatives   self assertRegexpMatches self driver find element by xpath  html body div 1  div 2  div div 1  label   text  r    s S  Weather  s S      assert  Weather  in self driver find element by css selector  div classname1 classname2 gt div clearfix gt label   text   Source  Another way to check  assert  if text exists using Selenium Python  Java  In Java the following function   public void verifyTextPresent String value      driver PageSource Contains value       and the usage would be   try     Assert IsTrue verifyTextPresent  Selenium Wiki       Console WriteLine  Selenium Wiki test is present on the home page      catch  Exception      Console WriteLine  Selenium Wiki test is not present on the home page        Source  Using verifyTextPresent in Selenium 2 Webdriver     Behat  For Behat  you can use Mink extension  It has the following methods defined in MinkContext php          Checks  that page doesn t contain text matching specified pattern    Example  Then I should see text matching  Bruce Wayne  the vigilante     Example  And I should not see  Bruce Wayne  the vigilante         Then       I  should not see text matching   P lt pattern gt                        public function assertPageNotMatchesText  pattern         this- gt assertSession  - gt pageTextNotMatches  this- gt fixStepArgument  pattern              Checks  that HTML response contains specified string    Example  Then the response should contain  Batman is the hero Gotham deserves      Example  And the response should contain  Batman is the hero Gotham deserves          Then   the response should contain    P lt text gt                       public function assertResponseContains  text         this- gt assertSession  - gt responseContains  this- gt fixStepArgument  text
