Timer start (FR)

Perfecto Command

mobile:timer:start

Begins measuring time via a timer identified by the timerId parameter until the Timer stop command is used.

The initPolicy parameter is useful when using the command within a loop, where the timer can be reset or continued with each iteration.

The Timer Start command is only supported when using Perfecto's Native IDE automation testing.
