Summary

Missing password validation message95% confidence

Bug description

The password validation error message fails to display when an invalid password is submitted during registration. The test enters a password 'abcdefg' that deliberately violates password requirements (missing special characters, capitals, and numbers) and 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. The test has failed consistently in all 10 recent runs with the same error pattern, indicating a persistent defect in the validation message display mechanism.

Impact

Users attempting to register with weak passwords will receive no feedback about password requirements, leading to confusion and registration abandonment. This creates a poor user experience and potential security risk as users may repeatedly attempt registration without understanding the password policy. Business impact includes reduced conversion rates and increased support tickets.

Root cause (Jira — >90% only)

- (95%) JavaScript validation function fails to insert error text into the message element - the validation logic executes but the DOM manipulation to display the message is broken

Root cause (full)

The password validation message is not being displayed despite the validation logic likely executing. Given the 100% failure rate across 10 consecutive runs, this appears to be a consistent UI rendering issue rather than intermittent behavior. The most probable cause is that the validation message element exists in the DOM but is not being populated with the error text, possibly due to a broken JavaScript function that should insert the message, or a selector mismatch between the validation code and the actual DOM element.
