What is the major difference between “assert” and “verify” cmd's in Selenium?

Both “assert” and “verify” commands check whether the given condition is true or false :

 Example: assertEquals (expectedMessage, actualMessage);

  • Verify: It doesn’t stop the flow of execution irrespective of the condition being true or false. 

What is the difference between driver.close() and driver.quit() command in Selenium?

Locating by ClassName:

driver.findElement( By.className("Header"));

Locating by TagName:
