Can we control the test execution speed in WebDriver using Ruby

Question

Is there in Selenium Webdriver to control or set the execution speed of the tests. I'm using Ruby.
I could do it before with RC written in Perl. I used this: $sel->set_speed("500");

But now I can't use the same in WebDriver. Not sure if there is an equivalent function either. I'v read else where that options like "Slow", "Medium" and "Fast" are arguments control the speed in C# and Perl, but not in Ruby.
I know i can use driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 30. But this is not what im looking for.

Answer 1

The methods controlling execution speed in WebDriver have been deprecated for all language bindings a while ago. It's not possible to control the execution speed of a WebDriver test.

The best you can do is, use implicitwaits or explicitwaits.
