Eileen,

In the words of John Lennon, “talking about music is like dancing about architecture” - same goes for code (i.e. it makes little sense!) 😉

So, take a read of this, then post back with any relevant info (a dump of the code would be nice)…

> My test is BROKEN! NOTHING WORKS! HELP ME! Relax. We get it. We really do. There are some pretty smart and clever people on this forum, but you must realize, they are not magicians or wizards or gods. They cannot see your code, they can’t see your errors and they don’t even know what your AUT is meant to do even though it might seem perfectly obvious to you. So please relax and follow the advice below, before you start writing your post. The advice below will tell you the exact information …

But I will comment on this:

Not in the waitForElement\* calls, no. That’s the amount of time to wait _before it’s considered a failure_, not the amount of time to wait before it does the verification.
