Definition
Delay between tests is an optional pause inserted after one selected test finishes and before the next begins.
What it is for
It spaces out a multi-test run without editing the tests themselves.
How it works
- Set the delay in the Run Tests or Run Test dialog; Rima pauses that many seconds after each test finishes before starting the next.
- It applies to that run only; the tests themselves are unchanged.
Example
Run five account-creation tests with a three-second delay between them to avoid triggering a development API rate limit.
Common use cases
- Respect a rate limit.
- Allow shared state to settle.
- Make a demonstration easier to follow.
- Reduce load on a fragile test environment.
Where to find it
Set the value in the Run Tests or Run Test dialog before starting a multi-test execution.
Limitations, requirements, and permissions
- The delay accepts 0 to 60 seconds, in 0.1-second steps.
- Applies between tests in one run; it does not pause steps inside a test; use a wait step for that.
