Why implicit wait is not recommended?
If one sets an implicit wait command, then the browser will wait for the same time frame before loading every web element. This causes an unnecessary delay in executing the test script. Explicit wait is more intelligent, but can only be applied for specified elements.
What is default wait time when not defined any waits in Selenium?
The implicit wait timeout is set to 0 by default. This means that if a command that finds elements does not find anything, it won’t wait. The page load timeout is set to -1 by default. This means that Selenium will wait indefinitely for the page to load.
Do you use thread sleep () frequently?
sleep() increases the execution time in cases where elements are loaded in no due time. You need to write sleep() method whenever we need to make webdriver wait. So if you want to wait for two web elements, you need to write Thread. sleep() twice just before you locate web elements.
What’s the difference between explicit Wait and implicit wait?
Unlike Implicit wait, which applies to all the find element commands, Explicit wait focuses on one particular element on the web page. The Explicit wait tells the WebDriver to wait for a specific condition to be satisfied within the maximum allowed time. If it fails, then throw an exception.
When to throw exception in implicit wait in selenium?
In Implicit wait, WebDriver throws an exception if it is unable to find the element in the maximum allocated time. In Explicit wait, selenium WebDriver throws an exception if it fails to meet a particular condition in the time frame.
What are the different types of waits in selenium?

How often does fluentwait check for its presence?
FluentWait is a class that implements the Wait interface. // for its presence once every 5 seconds. Consider the maximum time of checking the condition is 20 seconds, and the frequency is 5 seconds. It checks for the condition for 20 seconds, then waits for 5 seconds, and again checks for the condition for 20 seconds.
