Is it harmful to use Verify Text instead of VerifytextPresent

[Babu]

Hi all
I have a tiny issue. Regarding usage of Verify Text. Verify Text
verifies text and element in a specific location. If I use
verifytextPresent it doesn't verify element and location. Now my
question is if I am using verifyText instead of Present, some time it
passes but some times it doesn't, so does that mean I have to use
verifyTextPresent where I don't need to check any element or location
always? and I shouldn't use verifyText if I don't need to check
element or location?

Hi Babu,

One reason because of which it fails sometimes is that the page may
have not loaded where you are verifying.Put wait statement before
verify command.

Hi

You said:
I shouldn't use verifyText if I don't need to check
element or location?

but if Text you want verify is hidden. it means not display,not invisible on web UI becuse style of text is hidden
, verifyTextPresent is still pass ( blue)  whether you see or not see on Web UI
