Hi Lahiru,
Instead of using *driver.findElement(By.id(""))* you can use
*driver.findElements(By.id(""))
*which returns a List of elements. So you can check the size of the List.
It doesn't fail the test even though elements are not existing.
if you want to check whether there are any elements present and then fail
the test based on it you can use following.
*Assert.assertTrue(driver.findElements(By.id("identifier")).size() == 0);*
