Hello Brett,

Sure will be happy to explain to you the concept of implicit and explicit waits in Selenium WebDriver,

:clock3: Implicit Wait:

  • Set globally for the entire WebDriver session.
  • Applies to all elements.
  • Waits for a certain time before throwing a “NoSuchElementException.”

:clock1: Explicit Wait:

  • More specific, focusing on a particular element.
  • Allows waiting for specific conditions (e.g., visibility, clickability, presence) on that element.

These distinctions help you manage element interactions effectively in your test automation. If you have further queries or need more insights, please ask! :rocket:
