And that's to simulate a server responding slowly, which can make the application harder to automate. So in my test examples here in the synchronization example test, I've got a test called whyWaitsAreRequired. And this demonstrates that, if I do not have any waits and I try to find an element, as I do in line 56, then click on it in line 57, then immediately try and assert on the messages, a NoSuchElement exception will be thrown because there's no synchronization.
