If the input element has the attribute 'required' then it will display "Please fill in this field.". So all you have to do is find the element, using findElement() then use getAttribute('required'). If getAttribute returns NULL then the attribute does not exist. Otherwise, it should return the String "true".

you can use mouse hover to that element with the help of moveToElement method from actions class. and then check error message element is present .and then extract text by getText()

this scenario is like tooltip information on mouse hover.
