Pause

Wait for specific number of seconds.

Pause waits for a fixed or dynamic number of seconds. Use it when timing is the only signal you have, but prefer element waits whenever the UI gives a reliable state to watch.

Pause Test Step

When to use it

  • Add a short buffer when an animation has no Element to wait on.

  • Delay before a screenshot when the page settles visually but leaves no assertable state.

  • Prefer Wait For Element To Be Displayed or another element wait when the UI exposes one.
