**OS **MacOS Sierra 10.12.6
Katalon Studio Version 5.3.0
## Environment (for Web testing)
Browser FireFox, Chrome
## Steps to reproduce -
Run tests 1 by 1 (each test has “open browser”, “test” and “close browser” steps
or
Run tests via test suite (one “open browser”, multiple “tests”, one “close browser”)
## Expected Behavior -
Individual tests run fine, no slow down noticed at all after multiple runs
Running via the test suite, just runs them all one after another, so it should be faster if not the same average speed
## Actual Behavior -
Individual tests run fine, test suite will have random steps within random tests slow down for 20-30 seconds for no apparent reason
## Example
-
Running test001 individually - average time of 30 seconds (includes startup and close browser steps)
-
Running test001 as part of a test suite with tests (1) start browser, (2) run the test001 test, then (3) close the browser.
-
within the test001 test above a normal click step will take 0.2 seconds, then randomly the same click step might take 20-30 seconds while the browser jsut sits there.
-
If i look at the console, the test says "1 - click (24.582s), while below in the break down of the step, it says “Found 1 web element with id X in 3 seconds” so I do not know where the extra 20+ seconds comes from or why it is waiting
-
If i run the test again, it will work fine, or perhaps another step in the test (eg: navigate to url) might take 20-30 seconds longer than it should due to a random slowdown like this…
Any help would be appreciated
