Selenium WebDriver scripts are notoriously slow since they execute in the browser.

There are a various techniques for increasing their speed. The following are the details:

  2. Construct Atomic Tests. Smaller scripts are easier to troubleshoot in the event of faults than larger scripts.

3)Use explicit delays whenever possible.

4)The Chrome Browser and Driver are faster than other browsers and drivers.

  1. Run multiple scripts at the same time.

6)Create high-quality testing.

9)Cookies should be pre-filled.
