Explore the differences between Implicit and Explicit Waits in Selenium, helping you understand how to optimize web automation with precise timing.

1. SELENIUM
IMPLICIT VS
EXPLICIT WAITS

2. INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
AJAX TECHNIQUES DOMINATE,
LEADING TO THE
ASYNCHRONOUS LOADING OF
WEB ELEMENTS AT DIFFERENT
INTERVALS. THIS ASYNCHRONOUS
BEHAVIOR OFTEN POSES A
CHALLENGE WHEN IT COMES TO
LOCATING AND INTERACTING
WITH ELEMENTS.

3. IMPLICIT WAITS
IMPLICIT WAITS IN SELENIUM WEBDRIVER
ARE A MECHANISM THAT TELLS THE WEB
DRIVER TO POLL THE DOM FOR A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME WHEN TRYING
TO LOCATE ELEMENTS.
IMPLICIT WAITS ARE SET FOR THE LIFE OF
THE WEBDRIVER INSTANCE AND APPLY
TO ALL SUBSEQUENT INTERACTIONS WITH
THE DOM.

4. EXPLICIT WAITS
EXPLICIT WAITS HELP ENSURE THAT THE
TEST SCRIPT WAITS FOR AN ELEMENT TO
BE VISIBLE, CLICKABLE, OR MEET A
CUSTOM CONDITION BEFORE
CONTINUING.
THIS IMPROVES TEST STABILITY AND
RELIABILITY, ESPECIALLY WHEN DEALING
WITH DYNAMIC WEB PAGES OR SLOW-
LOADING ELEMENTS.

5. IMPLICIT VS EXPLICIT
BEHAVIOR:
MAX TIME TAKEN VARIES
BETWEEN IMPLICIT WAIT
VALUE AND (IMPLICIT WAIT
VALUE + EXPLICIT WAIT
VALUE)
EXAMPLE AND TIMING:
CODE SNIPPET AND EXECUTION
TIMING
WHEN EXPLICIT WAIT VALUE <
IMPLICIT WAIT VALUE:
BEHAVIOR:
WEBDRIVER INITIALLY
WAITS FOR IMPLICIT WAIT
MAX TIME TAKEN IS EQUAL
TO EXPLICIT WAIT VALUE
EXAMPLE AND TIMING:
CODE SNIPPET AND
EXECUTION TIMING
WHEN EXPLICIT WAIT VALUE >=
IMPLICIT WAIT VALUE:
