+# ==== Purpose ====
+#
+# Test verifies that when "Master_Delay" is specified on slave with GTIDS there
+# will not be any extra delay initially.
+#
+# ==== Implementation ====
+#
+# Steps:
+#    0 - Stop the slave and execute CHANGE MASTER command with
+#        master_use_gtid=  curren_pos and master_delay= 10
+#    1 - On slave introduce a sleep of 15 seconds and check that the
+#        Seconds_Behind_Master is within specified master_delay limit. It should
+#        not be more that "10" seconds.
+#
+# ==== References ====
+#
+# MDEV-13895: GTID and Master_Delay causes excessive initial delay
