Wait Strategy

What is Wait Strategy?

A wait strategy defines how a test synchronizes with the application—waiting for elements, conditions, or network activity to settle before interacting. The wrong strategy is the number-one cause of flakiness: fixed sleeps are simultaneously too slow on fast runs and too short on slow ones. The right strategy waits precisely as long as needed and no longer. Playwright's auto-waiting applies actionability checks to every interaction, so recorded QI flows synchronize correctly by default, keeping tests both deterministic and fast without hand-tuned delays.
