Waiters and syncs are one of the biggest headaches in test automation. To avoid that, each time an action is executed against an HTML element GXtest waits (implicitly) for that element to be present on the webpage (until a certain amount of seconds) otherwise it will fail and cancel test execution. Moreover, GXtest takes care of several Ajax and JS events to make test automation robust while providing an interface to set timeouts using the following functions:

SetImplicitWaitTimeout
