Usage
Scenario: On the following scenario we will try to create an account on gmail.com.
We will see that it might take time to load the page, so by adding a step of waitForElement the test stability is improved.
Step 1: Launch google.com using the chrome browser.
Step 2: Click the create an account button.
Step 3: Fill in name on Name text field.
Test:
**
**
Web page was not fully loaded. Element was not identified before the click command's timout which resulted on the test failing.
How to resolve this issue
We will use the WaitForElement command. SeeTestAutomation will wait for the element and it will not move to the next step.
