Selenium WebDriver with Java - Basics to Advanced and Frameworks - Practical Examples on Explicit Waits

The video tutorial explains the concept of explicit wait in Selenium, focusing on the WebDriver Wait class. It covers how explicit wait targets specific elements, unlike implicit wait, which applies globally. The tutorial details methods available in WebDriver Wait, such as waiting for element visibility, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using explicit wait. It concludes with guidance on choosing between explicit and implicit wait based on application performance and testing needs.

What is the primary purpose of using explicit waits in Selenium?

• To apply a global wait time for all elements

• To target specific elements that take time to load

• To speed up the execution of test cases

• To handle browser compatibility issues

Which class is used to implement explicit waits in Selenium?

• FluentWait

• SeleniumWait

• WebDriverWait

• ImplicitWait

What arguments are required to initialize a WebDriverWait object?

• Driver object and wait time

• Locator and driver object

• Locator and wait time

• Driver object and URL

Which method in WebDriverWait is commonly used to wait for an element to become visible?

• textToBePresentInElement

• elementToBeClickable

• presenceOfElementLocated

• visibilityOfElementLocated

What is a key advantage of using explicit waits over implicit waits?

• They require less code

• They are easier to implement

• They target specific elements, improving performance

• They apply to all elements globally

What is a disadvantage of using explicit waits?

• They are not supported in all browsers

• They require more lines of code

• They can cause performance issues

• They apply globally to all elements

When should you consider using implicit waits over explicit waits?

• When you want to target specific elements

• When the application has unpredictable load times

• When you want to reduce code complexity

• When the application is consistently fast

Why might a team choose to use explicit waits in their framework?

• To ensure all elements are loaded before any action

• To avoid using any wait mechanisms

• To handle specific elements with known load issues

• To simplify the codebase

What should be considered when deciding between explicit and implicit waits?

• The size of the development team

• The programming language used

• The application's performance and behavior

• The number of test cases

What is the next topic to be discussed after explicit waits?

• Test case design

• Implicit waits

• Selenium architecture

• Fluent waits
