    Hi Mehdi,



    For such situations, we prefer using WaitAliasChild because:


    1. - the waiting time is a maximum so if the object appears earlier it will be acknowledged,


    2. - if the object is not found at max time, no error is raised




    Please checkout WaitAliasChild

Stops test execution if an error occurs. See this: http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/63774/?_ga=1.48575334.1554134704.1392816096



I'd suggest if you are eventually going to execute a suite of tests that you might also want to use  ' Events'  (http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/55502/?_ga=1.39778531.1554134704.1392816096)  for handling errors, warning, etc.



For example because my test steps are heavily dependant on the previous test step (application state)  I use Event handlers to post a screenshot and message to test logs and then immediately exit the current test and start the next test in the run.
