Summary

Password validation message not displayed85% confidence

BUG DESCRIPTION

The password validation error message is not appearing when an invalid password is entered during registration. The test intentionally enters 'abcdefg' which lacks required special characters, capital letters, and numbers. After clicking Register, the expected validation message '*Please enter 1 Special Character, 1 Capital 1, Numeric 1 Small' should appear but the message area remains completely empty. The automation correctly identifies this as a failure since it receives an empty string instead of the expected error text. This indicates the validation logic is either not triggering or the error message is not being rendered to the user interface.

Impact

Users can potentially register with weak passwords that don't meet security requirements, compromising account security. This creates a poor user experience as users won't understand why registration fails or what password format is required. The lack of clear validation feedback will lead to user frustration and potential abandonment of the registration process.

Root cause (full)

The password validation message is failing to display when invalid passwords are submitted. Based on the screenshot showing a completely filled form but empty validation message area, the most likely cause is that the client-side validation is not triggering properly when the Register button is clicked. The validation logic may be disabled, the error message element may not be rendering, or there could be a JavaScript error preventing the validation from executing. The test framework is correctly identifying the absence of the expected error message by receiving an empty string, confirming this is an application defect rather than a test issue.
