Summary

Missing password validation message85% confidence

BUG DESCRIPTION

The password validation error message is not displaying when an invalid password is entered during registration. The test intentionally enters a password 'abcdefg' that violates the password policy (missing special characters, capital letters, and numbers). Upon clicking the Register button, the expected validation message '*Please enter 1 Special Character, 1 Capital 1, Numeric 1 Small' should appear, but the message area remains empty. The test assertion fails because it receives an empty string instead of the expected validation text. This indicates the client-side validation is either not triggering or the error message element is not being rendered properly.

Impact

Users attempting to register with weak passwords will not receive feedback about password requirements, leading to confusion and potential registration abandonment. This could result in decreased conversion rates and frustrated users who don't understand why their registration is failing. Additionally, if validation is bypassed entirely, weak passwords could compromise account security.

Root cause (full)

The password validation message is failing to display despite the form submission with an invalid password. The most likely cause is that the client-side validation JavaScript is either not executing properly or the DOM element responsible for displaying the error message has changed. The screenshot shows the form is complete and submitted, but the validation message area where the error should appear is completely empty, suggesting either the validation logic isn't running or the message element selector used by the automation is incorrect.
