Selenium Python Automation Testing from Scratch and Frameworks - Understanding Explicit Wait in Selenium

The video tutorial explains the concept of explicit wait in Selenium, highlighting its importance in targeting specific elements that take time to load. It contrasts explicit wait with implicit wait, which applies globally. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on implementing explicit wait using the WebDriverWait class and expected conditions. It demonstrates the practical application of explicit wait in a test scenario, ensuring tests pass by waiting for specific elements to load. The video concludes with a successful test execution using explicit wait.

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

• To apply a global wait time for all elements

• To target and wait for specific elements

• To speed up the test execution

• To handle browser compatibility issues

How does an explicit wait differ from an implicit wait?

• Explicit waits target specific elements, while implicit waits are applied globally

• Both explicit and implicit waits target specific elements

• Explicit waits are applied globally, while implicit waits target specific elements

• Both explicit and implicit waits are applied globally

Which class is used to define explicit waits in Selenium?

• SeleniumWait

• ExpectedConditions

• ElementWait

• WebDriverWait

What are the two arguments required by the WebDriverWait class?

• Driver and element

• Element and timeout

• Driver and timeout

• Timeout and condition

Which package needs to be imported to use expected conditions in Selenium?

• selenium.webdriver.support.wait

• selenium.webdriver.support.expected_conditions

• selenium.webdriver.support.ui

• selenium.webdriver.support.conditions

What does the 'presence_of_element_located' condition check for?

• If an element is present in the DOM

• If an element is visible

• If an element is clickable

• If an element is selected

Why might you choose to use explicit waits over implicit waits?

• To avoid using any wait times

• To reduce the overall test execution time

• To handle specific elements that take longer to load

• To apply a wait time to all elements

What happens if the specified element does not appear within the timeout period in an explicit wait?

• The test continues without waiting

• The test fails

• The test waits indefinitely

• The test skips the step

In the test scenario, what was the specific element targeted by the explicit wait?

• The checkout button

• The promo code edit box

• The apply button

• The home page link

What was the outcome of the test after implementing explicit waits?

• The test passed

• The test failed

• The test was inconclusive

• The test was skipped
