Discussion

Whenever you require to take a pause in between 2 steps you must use the wait statement. The statement is quite straight and can be used effectively. The only part where you should take consideration is performance. The wait statement will, of course, introduces longer time duration for completion of execution than regular time.

You can also use this to have a pause in between two action’s calls.

There is a difference between sync and wait. Sync is a method which is once set against the test object will try to have the control gets loaded and completely rendered by the browser. The wait performed here is to check on the control’s visibility. That is, it checks the state of control got loaded or still loading. On the other hand the wait statement waits till the time tester has defined.

Syntax
