Hi,
Generally it's better to not have these sorts of if/else blocks in test
cases. If you are testing a whole lot of generated pages, then I think it's
better to write test cases for the generation code.
In JUnit all test case methods assertXXX() should throw an
AssertionFailedError if the test fails (see TestCase.fail()) so you can
catch this if necessary.
If you are just looking to see if an element exists, look at the
getElement() methods.
Hope this helps!
