Watch the video to learn the important features of WebdriverIO waits!
WebdriverIO waits are mechanisms used to manage the timing and synchronization of test steps, ensuring that elements are available and conditions are met before actions are performed. There are three primary types of waits in WebdriverIO: • Implicit Waits • Explicit Waits • Fluent Waits

Automatic Waiting in WebdriverIO: The video explains how WebdriverIO automatically waits for elements to be available before throwing an error, ensuring synchronization in test execution.
Implicit Waits: An overview of implicit waits, which apply a global wait time for all elements. It is recommended to avoid using implicit waits due to potential conflicts and longer wait times.
Explicit Waits: The video emphasizes the use of explicit waits for more precise control, allowing waits at specific points, such as waiting for an element to exist or be visible.
Customization of Wait Times: Discussion on how WebdriverIO allows customization of wait times to fit different scenarios and requirements.
Best Practices: Recommendations on best practices for using waits in WebdriverIO to ensure efficient and effective test execution.
