How can I resolve and troubleshoot the issue of timing-related issues in a web-based testing process?

175    Asked by Deepalisingh in QA Testing , Asked on Mar 12, 2024

I am currently engaged in a particular task that is related to automating a web-based testing process by using the selenium and Python programming language. When I was trying to implement my test script, I encountered a scenario where an issue occurred which was showing timing-related issues due to the asynchronous loading of elements or delays in server response time. How can I resolve and troubleshoot this particular issue?

 In the context of selenium, the “thread sleep” functionality in selenium would help you pause the implementation of the test script for a specific duration. It would help in giving the web page or server enough time to load the elements or complete asynchronous tasks before the purpose of proceedings with the next steps.

Here is how you can use the “thread sleep” functionality in Selenium with Python programming language:-

From selenium import webdriver

Import time
# Initialize the WebDriver (assuming Chrome WebDriver here)
Driver = webdriver.Chrome()
# Navigate to the webpage
Driver.get(‘https://example.com’)
# Perform actions on the web page
# For example, click a button that triggers asynchronous loading of elements
Button_element = driver.find_element_by_id(‘button_id’)
Button_element.click()
# Wait for a specified duration using thread sleep
Time.sleep(5) # Pause execution for 5 seconds
# After the specified duration, continue with the next steps
# For example, interact with the loaded elements
Loaded_element = driver.find_element_by_id(‘loaded_element_id’)
Loaded_element.click()
# Don’t forget to quit the driver when done
Driver.quit()
