# Wait

> Pause test execution to allow for page loads, animations, or processing.

## Overview

The wait action pauses test execution for a specified duration, allowing the page to finish loading, animations to complete, or data to process before the next step runs.

## Dynamic AI Wait

The agent automatically determines the optimal wait duration based on page state and context. Use this when you do not need precise timing control.

Ideal for:

* Standard page load operations
* UI transitions and animations
* Dynamic content loading

## Explicit Wait

Specify an exact duration for the agent to wait, giving you precise timing control.

Ideal for:

* Complex loading operations
* Third-party integrations
* Heavy data processing tasks

<Warning>
  Avoid excessive wait times as they increase test execution duration. Consider using verification actions when possible instead of fixed wait times.
