Question

Accepted Answer

To wait in Selenium, we can use explicit and implicit waits. To find all links in a page using XPath, we can use the findElements() method.

To wait in Selenium, we can use explicit wait with ExpectedConditions or implicit wait with the setScriptTimeout() method.
Explicit wait waits for a certain condition to occur before proceeding with the next steps.
Implicit wait sets a maximum time for the driver to wait for an element to appear.
To find all links in a page using XPath, we can use the findElements() method with the XPath expression '//a'.
This will return a list of all link elements on the page.

there are 3 types of waits in selenium:

implicit waits: fixed wait of given time interval where execution wait for at least given no. of seconds until the page or web elements loads.
Explicit waits: these are flexible waits which wait until a certain condition defined is not met. It throws exceptions when conditions doesn't meet. WebDriverWait class is available to apply for the wait conditions like visibility/invisiblity of elements, element to be clickable, framtobe available and switch to it.
fluent waits: these are also flexible waits where pooling happens on loop for few seconds to validate a condition until full time defined is completed.
