If the test returns error, whereas the situation is normal (i.e. you know the service has long response time, or is slow starting, etc.), then you should increase the corresponding timeout. The default timeouts should work fine for most services. If you don't see any errors then trying to tune timeouts is kind of overkill and you try to solve synthetic problem.
