How can I accelerate iTest selenium session's replay speed.

Hello, Currently, my selenium session takes 3-5 seconds for each execution steps after page load.

I can't wait that long. I expect within 1 sec, at least.

So, Does selenium session has an ability to set any intervals? How to do that? Just in case, i've checked several session properties(e.g. "time wait") behavior, but that was ineffective... Thanks,

I believe you can use the chrome browser to replay the testcase. Because chrome browser is very fast compare to Firefox browser to execute the testcase steps. You can find this option in session profile properties or open step properties in a testcase.

If you want to reply the testcase only in Firefox browser then try with below option.

Go to step properties -> Start -> Dicrease the "Normal" value and give a try. But you have to do this for every step in a testcase.

Hello drakesh, Thank you for your help.

I've quickly tested about normal/fast properties by modifying every step. Enviroment:Firefox, a testcase contains 7 step simple browser actions. (In addition, I have to use Firefox, because DUT doesn't have chrome support.)

Here are the result. 1. normal1fast0=37 secs 2. normal0fast0=40 secs 3. normal5fast0=37 secs 4. normal5fast1=44 secs 5. normal5fast2=52 secs 6. normal50fast0=37 secs

Perhaps, it seems "normal" doesn't work properly,and also "fast" work correctly(fast:1 makes 1sec delay to each step). I don't know the normal precisely..,just supposed that it's a delay value for the beginning after the previous step. Do you have any idea what should I do next to accelerate browser replay speed?

Thanks,
