Hi all,

I have an interesting scenario that i am trying to test for.  The web
application I am dealing with has a pause page that gets activated if the
requested process is taking longer than expected, usually 20 seconds.  For
example, if a go on the search page and conduct a database search, depending
on the amount of data, this might kick in the pause page while the customer
waits for the results page.  This is were the problem arises.  Since webtest
is testing for specific pages, i.e. search page ->result page, is there
anyway that I can define either a macrodef or scriptStep that will handle
the occurrence of the web page without being explicitly called?  I could
explicitly check for the webpage for each page that i navigate to, but i
think that would get a little tedious and besides, what if the pause page
does not kick in?

Is there anyway that I can have the webtest "lookout" (like how a scriptStep
can remain activated throuht the webtest) for an in between page like the
pause page, that may or may not appear based on how long it takes to
retrieve information for the intended destination page?

Thanks in advance,

-Steve Chikwaya
