# Validate Page Title and URL

******Validate Page Title and URL******

In this example, we will learn how to validate a web page’s **title** and **URL** using Playwright assertions.

**Code Example**

```javascript

                // Import Playwright test and expect assertion library
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

// Define a test case with title
test('Validate Page Title and URL', async ({ page }) => {

  // Step 1: Navigate to the website
  await page.goto('https://vinothqaacademy.com/');

  // Step 2: Get the actual page title
  const actualTitle = await page.title();
  console.log('Page Title:', actualTitle); // For debugging

  // Step 3: Validate (assert) the page title
  await expect(page).toHaveTitle('Vinoth Tech Solutions – Empowering Tech Careers');

  // Negative scenario example (kept commented):
  // await expect(page).toHaveTitle('Vinoth Tech Solutions – Empowering Tech Career')

  // Step 4: Get the actual page URL
  const actualURL = page.url();
  console.log('Page URL:', actualURL); // For debugging

  // Step 5: Validate (assert) the page URL
  await expect(page).toHaveURL('https://vinothqaacademy.com/');
});
```

******Explanation******

- `import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test'` → imports Playwright’s built-in test runner and assertion library.

`- test('Validate Page Title and URL', async ({ page }) => { ... })` → defines a test case with a descriptive title.

`- page.goto(URL)` → launches the browser and navigates to the given URL.

`- page.title()` → fetches the actual title of the loaded page.

- `expect(page).toHaveTitle(expectedTitle)` → asserts the title matches exactly.

- `page.url()` → fetches the actual URL of the page.

- `expect(page).toHaveURL(expectedURL)` → asserts the URL is correct.

- Commented **negative test** shows how an assertion failure would look.

**Behind the Scenes**

- Playwright automatically opens a **new browser context** for each test and closes it at the end.

- The `expect` assertion library is optimized with auto-waiting, so it retries until the title/URL matches or times out.

- `console.log()` is optional and mainly used for debugging values

****What You’ll See****

- Browser opens and navigates to **vinothqaacademy.com**.

- Console prints the page **title** and **URL**.

- Title and URL assertions pass successfully.

- Browser closes automatically.

****Try It Yourself****

- Change the URL to another site (e.g., `https://playwright.dev/`) and validate its title.

- Uncomment the **negative scenario** to see how assertion errors appear.

- Replace `toHaveTitle` with a **regex** for flexible validation:

- awaitexpect`(page).`toHaveTitle`(`/Vinoth Tech/`);`
