Prerequisites:
In order to implement pause command in Selenium IDE, we have to first install 'Selenium IDE' firefox add-on in firefox browser. If you don't have Selenium IDE add-on installed in your firefox browser, follow the below posts first:
And also refer to the below post for opening the Application URL in the Firefox Browser using Selenium IDE:
Implementing 'pause' selenese command in Selenium IDE for halting the execution for a specified amount of time:
Note: In this practical example, we will first open "http://www.omayo.blogspot.com" using "open" command, then next will halt the execution for 20 seconds using the "pause" command and finally click on the "Selenium143" link on the page using "click" command. Just focus on the time the Selenium IDE test has halted after opening the application URL and till the "Selenium143" link on the application page is clicked.
Lets follow the below steps for implementing the pause selenese command for halting the execution for a specified amount of time:
Lets follow the below steps for implementing the pause selenese command for halting the execution for a specified amount of time:
1. Open Firefox browser and select 'Tools' Menu > 'Selenium IDE' option as shown below:

14. Now click on 'Select' button on 'Selenium IDE' and select the hyperlink 'Selenium143' on the application URL page as shown below:
15. Locator Strategy for the 'Selenium143' hyperlink will get auto generated in th Target field of Selenium IDE as shown below:
16. Now lets run the Selenium IDE test. Click on 'Play current test case' option as shown below:
17. Observe that the application URL provided in the Selenium IDE will be opened as part of first step, execution of Selenium IDE test will get halted for 20 seconds as part of second step and finally 'Selenium143' link on the application page will be clicked as part of third step. Also observe that the executed test case in Selenium IDE will be displayed as passed as shown below:
