Types of Waits in Selenium WebDriver

When it comes to Selenium WebDriver, there are primarily three types of waits that can be utilized to handle synchronization issues:

Implicit Wait

Implicit Wait is used to set a default waiting time (in seconds) for the entire session. It instructs the WebDriver to wait for a certain amount of time before throwing a NoSuchElement exception.

Explicit Wait

Explicit Wait allows the test script to wait for a certain condition to occur before proceeding further. It provides more flexibility than implicit waits as it allows for defining specific conditions and polling intervals.

Fluent Wait

Fluent Wait is the most flexible form of wait in Selenium WebDriver. It allows the test script to define the maximum amount of time to wait for a condition, along with defining the frequency of checking for the condition.

By intelligently implementing these different types of waits, testers can ensure efficient synchronization and robust handling of dynamic page elements in their test scripts.
