Manage Wait for Time steps
A Wait for Time step enables a test case to pause for a specified amount of time before continuing execution. This helps synchronize multiple asynchronous calls in a single test case. It also enables you to test more complex scenarios, such as those involving a long-running process that requires multiple interactions.
The following topics describe how to manage Wait for Time steps.
- Adding Wait for Time steps
In the test suite editor, you can add a Wait for Time step to a test case. Each Wait for Time step has a single Java long variable used to specify the wait time in milliseconds.- Specifying time values for Wait for Time steps
For any given Wait for Time step, you can specify the amount of time that you want a test case to pause before continuing execution.- Remove Wait for Time steps
You can remove any Wait for Time steps that are listed in the Test Cases area of the test suite editor. This enables you to more easily manage the remaining Wait for Time steps.
