Wait for delay in a web test
Pause a web test for a fixed duration, from milliseconds to minutes.
Reach for it when nothing on the page tells you the system is ready: a backend job still running, a rate limit to respect, an animation you can't hook into.
If you are waiting for something to appear on the page, use Verify element instead. It continues as soon as the condition is met instead of always burning the full delay.
