    Hi simonaferrara 

     

    Yes, you can use a Wait method to wait for the page to load, or a WaitProperty method to wait for the URL or href (or similar) property of the Page is updated.

     

    Are you using Script or KeywordTests? For keyword tests you can drag an OnScreenAction or Call Object Method operation into your test, select the Page, then select the most relevant Wait method.

    If you have recorded your test, TestComplete should automatically add Wait operations to the flow for page changes, but you can manually add more if needs be, using the above operations.

     

    Some more options here - Waiting for Web Pages 

     

    Hope this helps

    Thank you mikef , I'll try with the suggestions from the page that you've linked.

     

    Because I've got a complex page that loads some graphics (the performance are unfortunately not high, so they take long time to be loaded).. probably the best solution could be the one described within the "Waiting for an element on the page" paragraph.

     

    Regards,
