How can I test the correct text has been input to a field with Webdriver?

I'm writing Selenium tests and need to check that javascript correctly sets the text in certain fields.

I've been trying to use .text to get the text value of a particular Webelement like so;

test = WebDriverWait(self.ff, 10).until(lambda driver : driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='id_testText']"))
assert test.text == u'TEST'

But test.text never gets a value.

I can .clear() it and also .send_keys() to it, but even with these I can't get a value. So where am I going wrong in trying to test it's value?

Why using wait to get webelement? Anyway

test = WebDriverWait(self.ff, 10).until(lambda driver : driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='id_testText']"))
text = test.get_attribute('value')
assert text == u'TEST'
