In this lesson, students will learn about synchronization techniques in Selenium. The following topics will be covered:
Introduction to synchronization: An overview of the importance of synchronization in Selenium automation, and why it is necessary to wait for elements to load or become available before interacting with them.
Implicit waits: An explanation of implicit waits and how they work in Selenium. Students will learn how to set an implicit wait time for the entire WebDriver instance, and how to use implicit waits to wait for elements to load or become available.
Explicit waits: An explanation of explicit waits and how they work in Selenium. Students will learn how to use the WebDriverWait class to wait for specific conditions, such as the presence of an element or the text of an element, and how to use the ExpectedConditions class to define conditions for explicit waits.
Tips for synchronization: Best practices and tips for using synchronization techniques in Selenium automation, such as avoiding overuse of explicit waits, and using explicit waits in conjunction with other synchronization techniques (e.g. implicit waits, polling) for better results.
By the end of this lesson, students will have a good understanding of the different synchronization techniques in Selenium, and how to use them effectively in automation. They will also have a good understanding of the pros and cons of each technique, and will be able to apply these techniques in a practical context to automate tasks on a webpage.
