About
Condition-Based Waiting is a specialized testing utility designed to resolve inconsistent pass/fail behavior caused by timing dependencies and race conditions. It provides standardized patterns to replace static delays (like setTimeout or sleep) with reactive polling mechanisms that wait for specific events, state changes, or file system updates. By waiting for actual conditions rather than guessing at duration, this skill ensures tests are resilient across different environments—such as local machines vs. CI servers—while significantly reducing total execution time by concluding tests the moment a condition is met.
