What is synchronization point?

When you run a test or component, your application may not always respond with the same speed. For example, it might take a few seconds:

• for a progress bar to reach 100%
• for a status message to appear
• for a button to become enabled
• for a window or pop-up message to open

You can handle these anticipated timing problems by synchronizing your test or component to ensure that QuickTest waits until your application is ready before performing a certain step.
