XPath is very powerfull and verifyXPath allows to verify nearly everything in your page.
You can surely add a sleep and it is possible to write a waitForElement à la Selenium but I think that it should not be necessary (ok, it's not yet fully the case). I don't understand what you mean with "WebTest will go into a loop". Cheers, Marc.
