2 docs tagged with "explicit waits"

Let's say you want to test some functionality of a web application but it loads things dynamically. You might think about using a hard-coded sleep (that you constantly tweak due to test failures) or you use a blanket timeout that you likely bump up to address test instabilities as well.

In order to make our Selenium tests resilient, we need to make them wait for certain elements to load. Elements that we want to interact with. This is especially true with JavaScript heavy pages.
