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.

About this task

To specify a time value for a Wait for Time step:

Procedure

  1. In the test suite editor, click the Test Cases tab to open the Test Cases page.
  2. In the Test Cases area, select the Wait for Time step for which you want to specify a time value.
  3. In the Amount of time to wait (ms) field of the Detailed Properties area, select a Java™ long variable. If the test data table does not currently contain any Java long variables, no Java long variables will be displayed in the field. However, you can create one by selecting New. Information about creating a new variable is found in the topic "Adding variables."

What to do next

When the test case is run, the Wait for Time step will cause the test case thread to suspend for the specified amount of time. Note that if a variable does not exist or is not specified for the Wait for Time step, the Wait for Time sep will wait 50 milliseconds.
