    As far as I understand your problem is the script is going in a faster pace then the application itself (for example you click "next" and try to click on a button that appears on the next screen, while the button did not load yet).



    You are probably best off with one of the two solutions:



    • You can also set the project itself to act more slowly : 




    1. Right click your project in the "Project workspace"


    2. Edit --> Properties --> Playback


    3. Edit the appropriate parameters to have longer timeout / delay.


    4. For example to wait 5 seconds between each action you perform change "Delay between events,ms" to 5000.






    • You could enter a "wait for button / control" method with a while loop for each time you try to click a control (preferably with a defined timeout).
