In our Selenium automated tests, we've implicit and explicit waits. As per Jim Evan's thought https://stackoverflow.com/a/15174978/1471417, they should not be mixed. Hence planning to remove implicit wait.
For our tests, whenever we interact with an element, we've used explicit wait for it to be visible, clickable etc. with ignoring NoSuchElementException. That's why I don't think, it will throw NoSuchElementException immediately.
This makes sure removing implicit wait won't affect my tests. Apart from this, I want to know if there are any chances it can break tests. Based on your experiences, I want to understand its impact, hence requesting to share your views here.
