## autoDelay

Sometimes it takes some time for a page to respond to user's actions.
Depending on app's performance this can be either slow or fast.

For instance, if you click a button and nothing happens - probably JS event is not attached to this button yet
Also, if you fill field and input validation doesn't accept your input - maybe because you typed value too fast.

This plugin allows to slow down tests execution when a test running too fast.
It puts a tiny delay for before and after action commands.

Commands affected (by default):

*   `click`
*   `fillField`
*   `checkOption`
*   `pressKey`
*   `doubleClick`
*   `rightClick`

#### Configuration
