Quick Test Professional - The starters Guide

Synchronization is used to coordinate or time events to control the execution as needed. It is to give waiting time to the tool before executing next step in Test script.

Synchronization methods in QTP are:

• Exist statements
• Wait statements
• Sync Method
• Increasing Tool default synchronization time
• Inserting Synchronization points      

Exist statement:

By using Exist statements we can inform QTP to wait for a window to open/element to appear. "Exist statements" return a true/false value indicating whether an object currently exists or not.

Wait statement:

1. Wait (n) statement waits for specified 'n' seconds.
2. Wait () statement without specifying the seconds by default QTP wait up to maximum time.                                                                                                              
3. When we want make QTP to wait for specified time we go for Wait statement.

Example:

Sync Method: 

Sync methods only applies to browser instances. It generally means to wait for the browser until the current navigation completes
