Waiting tools help you handle timing in your tests. Instead of using arbitrary sleep times, QAbyAI’s intelligent waiting tools know when your application is actually ready.

​
Wait for AI Condition ✨

Wait for conditions described in natural language - the most intelligent waiting tool. Configuration:
  • until (required): Condition to wait for in natural language
  • timeout (required): Maximum seconds to wait for condition

​
Wait for URL

Wait until the browser navigates to a URL matching a specific pattern. Configuration:
  • urlRegex (required): Regular expression to match URL
  • timeout (required): Maximum seconds to wait for URL

​
Wait ⚠️

Simple time-based waiting for specific durations - not recommended. Configuration:
  • time (required): Seconds to wait

​
Why AI-Powered Waiting?

Traditional tests fail because they either:
  • Wait too little - Acting before the app is ready
  • Wait too much - Wasting time with unnecessary delays
QAbyAI’s AI waiting tools:
  • Understand visual cues - Know when loading is complete
  • Adapt to performance - Wait exactly as long as needed
  • Handle edge cases - Work across different environments and load conditions
  • Reduce flakiness - Tests pass consistently regardless of timing variations
Smart Timing Examples: Instead of guessing timing: 
❌ Wait 5 seconds  # Might be too long or too short
✅ Wait until the loading spinner disappears
For dynamic content: 
❌ Wait 10 seconds  # Page might load faster or slower
✅ Wait until the product list loads
For API responses: 
❌ Wait 3 seconds  # API might be slow
✅ Wait until the user data appears
Perfect timing, every time - without the guesswork.
