Overview
By using the Delay between steps feature, you can make the test wait for a specified amount of time before the next step is executed. This allows you to wait for the application screen to stabilize, preventing test failures due to synchronization issues.
Additionally, for applications that do not take a long time to load, it may be possible to shorten the execution time by reducing the settings.
Configuration method 1 (Entire workspace)
This applies to all scenario steps (excluding assertion steps) within the workspace.
- Go to the Settings page from the sidebar menu.
- Click the target Workspace.
- In Delay between steps, enter the number of seconds you want to wait between steps.
- Click Update to apply the changes.
If this is also configured in a scenario, the scenario settings take precedence.
Configuration method 2 (Individual scenarios)
If a specific scenario requires a different setting from the workspace default, you can override it in the scenario settings.
- Open the target scenario edit screen.
- Change the value for Delay between steps.
If you change the value, it is automatically updated without clicking a save button.
- For applications that take time to switch screens or load, setting this to 0 seconds may cause the test to fail because it starts interacting with the target element before it is displayed.
- If only specific steps take a long time to load, consider using a Sleep step instead of changing the Delay between steps setting applied globally.
