when tool speed is diffrent from application speed then we
go for synchronization to sync both the application and
tools to match

Answer / jyotsna

synchronization point is time mapping between tool and
application.

wait()defines the fixed waiting time. Its better to not to
use wait().b'coz it'll show fixed waiting time, means if ur
specified operation completes within or above that time the
results will vary.

Corrct me if i'm wrong:)

Answer / pramod

synchronization is a meaningful delay time between two
events. for EX: if we want to open new event after
finishing the first event. synchronization save the wastage
time and immdietly opened the second event after finished
first one. max time for first event= Global time+
synchronization time. if the event completing before the
time it will jump to next event. but in wait function if
that first event not completing with in the global time it
will through an error. and if it finished before the time
then it will wait for that time period which is waste of
time.

Answer / kavitha potru

By the time of test execution will be getting runtime errors due to some timegap inbetween tool and application,In that case tool wants to perform operation on the object will be getting run time errors there we need to map application time and tool time in a comman time that process is called Synchronization
By the time of inserting Synchronization we need to use bellow properties
1.Wait property
2.Wait
3.Increase time
4.Exist methode

In this a wait property will wait for particular application object execution but not wait for given time
but "wait" is wait for given time

Answer / guest

In synchronization point the winrunner wait for application
or bitmap images. It will take their own time.

But in wait function you can mentioned the time.
for ex. wait(12); - means winrunner wait for 12 sec. It is
possibile to images or application loaded before that. So
the time is waste.

Better to use sync points than wait()

Answer / nashokn

In synchronization point the winrunner wait for the bitmap
images or other controls should disabled or enabled. It
will take their own time.this is suitable for standalone
systems and network or web tech.
wait function will wait for certain time once that is
completed it start executing other scripts.it is suitable
for internet or network applications.
