Rerun tests after a stipulated time period.

Hi guys,   I am running a test to generate an ID. So, the generation takes 5-10 minutes. In few cases, it takes more than 10 minutes. I have also implemented another script in python to check whet...

    Pseudocode to achieve what you want will look something like this,

    Generate ID
Start-Timer
While ID is not generated
	if Start-Timer is greater than 15 minutes
		Break
	otherwise
		Wait for 1 minute
End-Timer
Output time taken to generate ID (End-Timer - Start-Timer) minutes

Thanks for the info you have provided.

No other project is dependent on this ID generation.

I check the ID is generated or not by opening a url in chrome which contains a dynamic table. I then search for the specific record and will check the ID cell.  If the cell is empty, then the generation is still in progress. If it contains any value, then the ID has been generated successfully. Even after 15 minutes, the cell in the table is empty, I then log the error messages.

This is how my test works.

I have thought about your solution. So after checking at the end, what if the generation is still in progress and needed an extra run after sometime? I need to manually run it again right? My entire project suite is running in a time not more than 8 minutes. So, some IDs will eventually fail to generate within 8 minutes.

Also, can you please explain about this running separately in a batch. How to split tests up? So that it could be easier for me to manually run another batch after sometime to check for ID generation.
