Selenium waits comparison

Selenium Waits Comparison

Wait Type Description Usage Advantages Disadvantages
Implicit Wait Waits for a certain time before throwing an exception if an element is not immediately available. driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(time, unit); Simplifies test code, applies globally. May cause unnecessary waiting, not precise.
Explicit Wait Waits for a specific condition to be satisfied before proceeding. WebDriverWait + ExpectedConditions Precise control, better for dynamic elements. More code, may need to handle various exceptions.
Fluent Wait Combines implicit and explicit waits, polling at specified intervals. Wait + polling + ignored exceptions Flexible, customizable wait conditions. Complex syntax, requires exception handling.
Thread.sleep() Pauses the execution for a specified amount of time. Thread.sleep(milliseconds); Simple to use. Not recommended, fixed wait time.
