  • NoSuchFrameException – When we try to switch to a frame but the targetted frame is not present.

  • NoSuchWindowException – When we try to switch to a window but the targetted window is not present.

  • UnexpectedAlertPresentException – When an unexpected alert blocks the normal interaction of the driver.

  • TimeoutException – When a command execution gets a timeout.

  • InvalidElementStateException – When the state of an element is not appropriate for the desired action.
