8. Waits in Selenium WebDriver

Introduction to Waits in Selenium WebDriver

In Selenium WebDriver, handling dynamic web elements is crucial for the reliability of your automated tests. To manage elements that load at different times, Selenium provides different types of waits. These waits ensure that your tests wait for elements to appear, interact with them, or meet certain conditions before continuing. The three main types of waits in Selenium are Implicit Wait, Explicit Wait, and Fluent Wait.

• Implicit Wait is a global wait that applies a fixed timeout for all element lookups.
• Explicit Wait allows you to wait for specific conditions to be met for individual elements.
• Fluent Wait is an advanced form of Explicit Wait, offering more control over polling intervals and exception handling.
