What is Selenium implicit timeout?

What is Selenium implicit timeout?

Selenium implicit timeout is a setting that tells the WebDriver to wait for a certain amount of time when trying to find an element before throwing a NoSuchElementException.

How do I set the implicit timeout in my Selenium script?

You can set the implicit timeout using the manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait() method in your script. For example: driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);.

Is there a difference between implicit and explicit wait?

Yes, implicit wait applies to all elements in the script, while explicit wait is used for specific elements with conditions.

When should I use implicit wait?

Use implicit wait when you want a general wait time for all elements, but consider explicit wait for more control over specific conditions.
