I am excuting a testsuite, which includes around 160 testcases via IE.

But the execution hangs after sometime. Testcases are simple ones,mostly to check the presence of elements or to get the text of an element.

IE11
IEServerdriver:version 3
Windows 10

"StaleElementReferenceException" is throw when the webelement is no longer available(deleted) or modified from the DOM. This can happen due to page or a part of it has refreshed due to AJAX, Javascript, etc.

To handle this exception you will have to re-intialize the webelement for which you are getting the exception.

You can also try to use "try catch" to catch the StaleElementReferenceException.
