Hey there, testing enthusiasts! Have you ever found yourself frustrated with unreliable automation scripts that just won’t behave as expected? We hear you, and we at LambdaTest have been developing a solution for that!

In today’s software development landscape, [automation testing](https://www.lambdatest.com/automation-testing?utm_source=devto&utm_medium=group&utm_campaign=oct_19&utm_term=ap&utm_content=webpage) has become an integral part of the process. As organizations increasingly recognize the advantages of automation, it becomes crucial to ensure the reliability and precision of automation scripts. That’s why we are thrilled to announce the launch of **LambdaTest SmartWait**, an exceptional feature that enhances your web automation experience.

### Leverage The Power Of SmartWait

LambdaTest SmartWait empowers you to perform a series of “**actionability checks**” on webpage elements before executing any actions, ensuring the flawless functionality of your scripts. This groundbreaking feature introduces the innovative “**SmartWait Algorithm**“, which intelligently waits until all necessary checks are successfully passed before proceeding with an action.

But how does SmartWait work? When you initiate an action on a webpage element using LambdaTest, the SmartWait Algorithm comes into play, triggering a series of actionability checks. These checks meticulously examine the element’s readiness for the intended action, be it clicking, typing, or any other operation. They evaluate factors like visibility, presence, and interactability to ensure seamless execution.

The true beauty of SmartWait lies in its ability to guarantee the accuracy and effectiveness of your automation scripts. If all the actionability checks pass within a predefined timeframe, the SmartWait Algorithm seamlessly executes the action, providing a flawless automation experience. However, if any of the checks fail to meet the specified timeframe, the algorithm intelligently returns the relevant Selenium error message, enabling you to identify and address any issues swiftly.

### Impact Of SmartWait On Your Testing Workflows

The impact of LambdaTest SmartWait on your automation capabilities is remarkable. By ensuring that actions are only performed when elements are genuinely actionable, this feature significantly minimizes the risk of false positives or incorrect executions. Consequently, you save valuable time and effort in the maintenance and debugging of your automation workflows.

We firmly believe that LambdaTest SmartWait will streamline your testing processes and empower you to create robust automation scripts. With its enhanced accuracy and reliability, you can focus on delivering high-quality software while reducing the chance of undetected issues slipping into production.

As you explore this feature, you will witness firsthand how SmartWait simplifies your automation efforts and elevates your testing to new heights. Bid farewell to unreliable scripts and embrace the power of precise automation with LambdaTest SmartWait.

### Perform Automation Testing Using SmartWait

Here’s how you can effectively perform automation testing using the SmartWait functionality:

1. **Set SmartWait Time Limit**: Begin by specifying the maximum waiting time for your test script until an element becomes actionable. Customize this time limit according to your specific test requirements.
    

```plaintext
LT:Options {
...

"smartWait": 10 // It accepts integer values as second

...
}
```

1. **Execute the Test Suite:** Run your test suite as you normally would. Before executing each action on a webpage element, SmartWait automatically performs actionability checks. This ensures that the element is ready for the intended action, such as clicking or typing.
    
2. **Review the Test Results:** After the test suite execution is complete, carefully examine the results. If any actionability checks fail within the predefined time frame, SmartWait will provide the relevant Selenium error message.
    

By incorporating SmartWait into your automation testing workflow, you can significantly enhance the reliability and precision of your scripts. Enjoy a seamless testing experience while saving valuable time. Upgrade your automation capabilities and achieve exceptional software quality effortlessly.
