What is an Implicit wait in Selenium?
Hello Matthew-phillips,
An implicit wait is a type of wait that waits for a specified time while locating an element before throwing NoSuchElementException.
By default, Selenium tries to find web elements immediately when required without any wait. So, it is good to use implicit wait. This wait is applied to all the elements of the current driver instance.
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
