Vairance in script execution using webdriver java

Question

My problem is a bit generic one, so please bear with me.

I'm using

-selenium 2.44/eclipse Kepler/Java 1.7_071/JXL API/ Internet Explorer Driver Server 2.44

My OS is Windows 7 & IE version 9

Execution speed of my script varies a lot machine to machine.I have used xpath/ID/linkText/className for element identification, Even the element identified with linkText responds too slow. . I have used webdriver wait like this

new WebDriverWait(driver,60).ignoring(Exception.class).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id(Location)));

Can somebody tell me what could be the factors affecting the execution speed & how to improve it.

Note:- The application under test works fine manually.

Have you tried only with `new WebDriverWait(driver,60).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id(Location)));` / — Saifur, Jan 13 '15 at 13:03
@Saifur Yes, This has been all over my code & its not that it doesn't work,infact it has worked perfectly on some machines — Shoaib Shaikh, Jan 13 '15 at 13:20
No. I am asking if you have tried without the `ignoring` to test the speed — Saifur, Jan 13 '15 at 13:29

It is a known issue!

I think you are using 64 bit IE driverserver. Use 32 bit driverserver instead of 64 bit. You will see some improvement.

Couple of things:

As @vinoth S says there is a known issue with IE 64x bit driver. To proof this I actually did a bench marking yesterday. This is how it looks. I had a simple login and logout script which ran 10 times So change your driver to 32x if so.

Use id everywhere if possible and possibly css selector over xpath. Avoid linktext, partial linktext as much as you can. See this
