Hi Lahiru, You can use TestNg soft assert for this.
Basically what you want is 1. Check the element whether it is exists. 2. It should not make assert fail and stop the test execution if element is not there. please refer [1] for soft assert. [1]. https://rameshbaskar.wordpress.com/2013/09/11/soft-assertions-using-testng/ Thank you, Dharshana.
