SelenideElements

SelenideElements is a core concept within the Selenide testing framework. It represents a collection of web elements on a page that match a specific locator. When you use Selenide's methods to find elements, you often receive a SelenideElement or a collection of SelenideElements. These objects are designed to abstract away the underlying WebDriver implementation, providing a more fluent and readable API for interacting with web pages during automated testing.

SelenideElements offer a rich set of methods for performing actions and making assertions. For instance, you can click on a SelenideElement, type text into an input field represented by one, or check if it is visible. When dealing with multiple elements, SelenideElements allow you to iterate through them, access individual elements, or perform actions on all of them simultaneously. The framework handles synchronization automatically, waiting for elements to appear, become clickable, or meet other conditions before proceeding. This significantly reduces the need for explicit waits, a common source of flakiness in test automation. The use of SelenideElements contributes to writing more robust and maintainable end-to-end tests.
