Answer
Both methods are used to locate an element on a page. Each of them has slightly different behaviour.
Method findElement(...) finds the element matching the criteria. If no element is found, exception is thrown. If one or more elements are found, the first element is returned.
In contrast, the findElements(...) returns the list of matching elements. If no element is found, empty list is returned. If one or more elements are found, they will be present in the returned list?
