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

JUnit Webdriver  assertEquals driver findElement By xpath    this is the xpath location where the text sits  getText    insert the text you re expecting to see here      If in the event your expected text doesn t match the xpath text  webdriver will tell you what the actual text was vs what you were expecting

With XPath  it s not that hard  Simply search for all elements containing the given text   List lt WebElement gt  list   driver findElements By xpath      contains text        text            Assert assertTrue  Text not found    list size    gt  0     The official documentation is not very supportive with tasks like this  but it is the basic tool nonetheless   The JavaDocs are greater  but it takes some time to get through everything useful and unuseful   To learn XPath  just follow the internet  The spec is also a surprisingly good read     EDIT   Or  if you don t want your Implicit Wait to make the above code wait for the text to appear  you can do something in the way of this   String bodyText   driver findElement By tagName  body    getText    Assert assertTrue  Text not found    bodyText contains text
