ExpectedConditions

What is generally not recommended to use while implementing wait in Selenium?

Thread.Sleep()

What happens if an element is not located within the time frame of explicit wait in Selenium?

It will throw an exception

What is the ideal wait to use when an element might load at different intervals of time in Selenium?

Fluent Wait

What is the maximum time frame set in the fluent wait in the given example?

30 seconds

What is the frequency set in the fluent wait in the given example?

5 seconds

What does the explicit wait in Selenium wait for?

WebDriverWait class or the ExpectedConditions to occur

What are the parameters accepted by implicit wait in Selenium WebDriver?

Time as an integer value and time measurement

What should be used after declaring explicit wait to check the condition in Selenium WebDriver?

ExpectedConditions

What is generally not recommended to use while implementing wait in Selenium?

Thread.Sleep()

What happens if an element is not located within the time frame of explicit wait in Selenium?

It will throw an exception

What role do 'Waits' play in executing tests in Selenium?

They prevent 'ElementNotVisibleException' exceptions

Why are 'Waits' necessary in Selenium?

To handle time intervals for element loading

What problem do 'Waits' in Selenium help resolve?

Locating elements when they load at different intervals

What happens if an element is not located within the time frame defined by explicit wait?

It switches to implicit wait time frame

Where has Selenium Web Driver borrowed the idea of implicit waits from?

Watir

What does an implicit wait of 10 seconds mean?

The test will wait for 10 seconds for an element to be located before throwing an exception

What problem do implicit and explicit waits help resolve in Selenium?

Preventing 'ElementNotVisibleException' exceptions

What exception is thrown if the element is not located within the time frame defined by explicit wait?

TimeoutException

What is the consequence of setting an implicit wait time frame longer than the explicit wait time frame?

The explicit wait will wait for the specified time frame, then the implicit wait will take over

What is the purpose of an explicit wait in Selenium?

To wait for a specific condition to be met before proceeding

What is the consequence of not using any waits in Selenium?

The test will fail due to element identification issues

What type of exceptions can be prevented by using Selenium Waits?

All of the above

Study Notes

Implicit Wait

  • Accepts time in seconds as a parameter
  • Waits for elements to load within the set time frame before throwing a NoSuchElementException

Explicit Wait

  • Waits for a specific condition to occur before proceeding with execution
  • Used with ExpectedConditions to check for specific conditions
  • Throws a TimeoutException if the condition is not met within the set time frame
  • Should be used with a WebDriverWait and ExpectedConditions to check the condition

Fluent Wait

  • Example: Wait fluentWait = new FluentWait(driver).withTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS).pollingEvery(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
  • Maximum time frame set: 30 seconds
  • Frequency set: 5 seconds

Importance of Waits

  • Play a crucial role in executing tests by handling synchronization issues
  • Necessary to handle page loading and element rendering times
  • Help resolve synchronization issues and timeout exceptions
  • Prevent NoSuchElementException and TimeoutException

Consequences

  • Not using waits can lead to test failures and unreliable tests
  • Setting implicit wait time frame longer than explicit wait time frame can lead to longer test execution times
  • If an element is not located within the time frame defined by explicit wait, a TimeoutException is thrown
