What is the difference between Assert and Verify commands?

There are significant differences between Assert and Verify commands. They are as follows:

• Execution of the next step: When a Hard Assert fails, a test case will throw an Exception, and the test case is marked as failed. When a Soft Assert fails, it does not throw an exception, and execution continues with the next step (post-failure). Similarly, when Verify fails in Selenium, it will continue with the execution of the following test step irrespective of Verify the status of the previous test step.
• Categories: Asserts have two major categories in Selenium, namely, Hard Asserts and Soft Asserts. However, there are no categories in Verify.
• Usage: Verify in Selenium is used when the failure of a particular condition does not result in severe repercussions for the subsequent test step. This assertion can be used to check that a field has been filled out correctly or that an error message has been displayed. At the end of the test, the AssertAll() method has to be invoked to view the results.
