Hi, if your asynchronous calls are just made using XMLHttpRequest, you can try this:
<groovy description="setup AJAX calls resynchronizer (this will become the default in WebTest)"> import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.NicelyResynchronizingAjaxController as NRAC step.context.webClient.ajaxController = new NRAC(); </groovy> Nevertheless many AJAX frameworks use setTimeout (with a small timeout value) and start processing from there. Ideally WebTest should detect that and automatically wait until this kind of processing is finished but it's not yet the case. You can try something like <groovy description="wait that setTimeout terminates"> step.context.currentResponse.enclosingWindow.threadManager.joinAll(10000); </groovy> this is better than <sleep seconds="10"/> because it will wait at most ~10 seconds but will complete faster if processing is finished. Please let me know how it behaves. This will help to find what would be the best solution that should be the default in WebTest.
