I am using Thread.sleep() in my automation scripts often apart from using implicit and explicit waits.
as per my observation even while using implicit and explicit waits they are few cases where webelements are not getting recognized because of which scripts are failing. So can you suggest me on this please.

But what is your view on using Thread.sleep() in automation.
Is it good practice?
