# Assertions

## Creating Assertion Steps

Autify allows you to validate certain elements and information on a given page.

There are two types of assertions in Autify:

1. Assertions on elements within a page
2. Assertions against a page

To add an assertion step, click the checkbox button ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a099d8a2-cfd2-42ca-9906-68b4a337f4a5/Images/Documentation/Screen Shot 2021-09-29 at 11.50.41 AM.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T10%3A08%3A11Z&se=2026-10-28T11%3A08%3A11Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=DqAz6w8ec5oK4oeqyGQlWg7k6HY1Dy4EzM9Pwwrs1hU%3D) on the Autify Recorder while recording.

### Assertions on elements within a page

To add an assertion step to validate an element in a page, click the checkbox icon in Autify Recorder and mouse over the element you want to validate. The target element will be highlighted with a dark grey rectangle. Click on it, and a list of commands will appear. Select the appropriate command and click the ***[Save Assertion]*** button.

Available commands depends on the target element. For more information, please see [this article](/docs/en/assertion-elements-on-the-page).

### Assertions against a page

To add an assertion step against the page, click the checkbox icon ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a099d8a2-cfd2-42ca-9906-68b4a337f4a5/Images/Documentation/Screen Shot 2021-09-29 at 11.50.41 AM.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T10%3A08%3A11Z&se=2026-10-28T11%3A08%3A11Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=DqAz6w8ec5oK4oeqyGQlWg7k6HY1Dy4EzM9Pwwrs1hU%3D) on the Autify Recorder, and click ***[Assert against page]***.

          Validating pages that uses asynchronous communication, such as SPA

          

If the element that you're asserting against doesn't exist on the page, Autify will keep searching for a set amount of time. Therefore, even if a page involves asynchronous communication, as long as the target element appears within that time, you can validate it without a Sleep Step.
