The findElements method

For finding multiple elements matching the same locator criteria on a web page, the findElements() method can be used. It returns a list of WebElements found for a given locating mechanism. The method declaration of the findElements() method is as follows:

java.util.List findElements(By by)

The input parameter is the same as the findElement() method, which is an instance of the By class. The difference lies in the return type. Here, if no element is found, an empty list is returned and if there are multiple WebElements present that satisfy the locating mechanism, all of them are returned to the caller in a list.
