Example:

assertTable	1.2.1	Selenium IDE

WaitFor

WaitFor is used for validating the actual and expected values. If the actual and expected value matches, the controller will be transferred to the next statement immediately. Otherwise WaitFor command let the controller to wait till the actual and expected value matches or till the time out happens.
