# Recording assertions ## What is an assertion? You assert that some condition is met, and if it isn't, the test should fail. ## How to record an assertion? You can add more advanced assertions manually - learn more about [assertions and their types](https://docs.bugbug.io/editing-tests/assertions). 1. Start [recording test steps](https://docs.bugbug.io/recording-tests-steps) 2. Click `Add assert` 3. Click the element that you want to check: every time the test is run BugBug will check if this element contains the same text or is visible on the page

You can also enable the "**Add multiple**" toggle, to select various elements on the page at once. Such as checking if all the elements are in place in the main navigation menu.
