Summary

Missing password validation message95% confidence

Bug description

The password validation error message is not displaying when an invalid password is submitted during registration. The test enters a password 'abcdefg' that lacks required special characters, capital letters, and numbers, then clicks 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. This is a consistent failure occurring in all 10 test runs with a 100% failure rate, indicating a persistent defect in the validation message display mechanism.

Impact

Users attempting to register with non-compliant passwords will not receive feedback about password requirements, leading to confusion and potential registration abandonment. This could result in decreased user conversion rates and increased support tickets. Additionally, users may perceive the application as broken or unprofessional when validation appears to fail silently.

Root cause (Jira — >90% only)

- (95%) JavaScript validation function is not setting the error message text in the DOM element after detecting invalid password format

Root cause (full)

The validation message element is likely not being populated or displayed correctly after validation triggers. Given the 100% failure rate across 10 runs, this appears to be a consistent issue with either the JavaScript validation handler not setting the message text, the DOM element selector being incorrect, or the message container having CSS display issues preventing visibility.
