Suppose, you entered username and password, you clicked on submit button and now you will be navigated to home page. But, here comes the challenge. If you do not synchronize your script, your script will not wait for the next page and you will get NoSuchElementException. WebDriver provides a good to use wait mechanism to solve these problems. There are 3 types of waits that Selenium provide: Implicit Wait Explicit Wait Fluent Wait So, let’s start to know more about th...
