Global timeout value specifies the maximum time, in seconds, for which QuickTest waits for and object to load before executing a test step. By default, QuickTest waits for 20000 milliseconds(20 seconds) between the execution of consecutive test steps.
When you add a synchronization point in a test, you specify a timeout value for the synchronization point. This timeout value is known as synchronization step timeout value. The synchronization step timeout value is added to the global timeout value.
If an object achieves its specified value before the allotted time, QuickTest does not wait for the full timeout to occur. For example, consider an object that has a global timeout of 30 seconds and a synchronization timeout of 30 seconds. If the actual time that QuickTest takes to recognize the object is 40 seconds, the test moves to the next step after 40 seconds.
