Validation message intermittently fails to appear after invalid password input
75% confidence
FLAKY DESCRIPTION
This test exhibits classic timing-based flakiness. The test expects a validation message '*Please enter 1 Special Character, 1 Capital 1, Numeric 1 Small' after entering an invalid password (SMALL_LETTERS_ONLY), but the actual result is empty. This suggests a race condition where the test is checking for the validation message before it has been rendered on the page. The validation logic likely requires asynchronous processing or DOM updates that haven't completed when the assertion runs. This is a common pattern in UI automation where validation messages appear with a slight delay.
Impact
{'CI_NOISE': 'Creates false positives in CI pipelines, potentially blocking valid builds and deployments when the test randomly fails', 'FALSE_NEGATIVES': 'May occasionally pass even when the validation is genuinely broken, masking real defects', 'WASTED_TRIAGE_TIME': 'Engineers spend time investigating phantom failures, analyzing logs, and re-running tests to confirm the issue is transient'}
