I have been developing automated testing systems for 15 plus years and just looking into add Selenium to the mix.. This mini tutorial answered lots of little questions for the new Selenium framework for me and helped greatly on my journey to write a standalone testing framework under it!!!

Not much talk about Expiicitwait using lambda expression and LINQ query. Just cover one simple example.
Don't know how to use lambda expression for checking E

Good course for who are looking for understanding the wait concepts in deep. Definitely worth a try!

I am looking to improve my Automation skills, this course is doing a great job of explaining in detail the usage and theory of Implicit and Explicit waits with Selenium.
By Rajkamal Veerasamy on 9/19/2019
The course uses C# bindings of Selenium API. But I can relate to Java. It is precise and well explained. Thanks.

Very good course based on examples. It would be good to remove silent parts from one of the sections.
By Ateeq Ateeq on 7/22/2019
The content is great but not produced in a professional way, you can minimize the time to be half an hour instead of an hour and a half
By Sudhir Sharma on 6/7/2019
Pretty good on explaining but to understand code more attension is needed.
By Nadidra Thomas-Exalien on 5/22/2019
I know more about implicit and explicit waits and how to use them than I did before taking this course. I highly recommend it.

Initial lectures were good until the author reached Explicit wait but later on, everything was haywire. Author sounded confused and it lot of impromptu things were going on which were not in author's favor.
By Vigneshbabu S M on 1/20/2019
Content is good, but I think it is slightly longer than required. We can reduce it to 1 hour from 1.5 hours.
