Re: [Dev] Reduce the execution speed of Web Driver
Hi Sohani, As I see the issue you are facing is web driver expects a element even before it loads in the page. One of the cleanest ways to do this is add a wait based on a condition. WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, timeoutInSeconds); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.idlocator)); else you can use RenderedWebElement to check whether the element is rendered before proceeding RenderedWebElement resultsDiv = (RenderedWebElement) driver.findElement(By.className(gac_m)); Mostly Selenium testing speed does not affect the test functionality. In such case any way we have to handle the scenario irrespective of the speed selinium executes the test. Thank You, Dharshana.

Re: [Dev] Reduce the execution speed of Web Driver
Hi Krishantha, In order to avoid thread sleeps inside ui-test cases, I have written an extension[01] for the automation framework which waits test execution until assets are populated properly after completing indexing and all. This applies for some other tests(ex: REST APIs) other than ui-test cases as well. With that I do not need to wait test cases unless specific cases. For specific cases where wait is needed We'll implement our own wait functions where ever possible. WDYT?
