Cart element selector ambiguity for negative test verification
85% confidence
NEEDS REVIEW
This test expects to verify that 'IPHONE 13 PRO' is NOT in the cart, but the failure occurs when trying to locate ANY cart items via '.cartSection h3' selector. The test appears to be a negative test (verifying absence) but fails at the element location step, making it unclear whether this is correct behavior for an empty cart or a product bug. The test uses INVALID-PRODUCT parameter suggesting it expects no match, but the NoSuchElementException could mean either the cart is properly empty (expected) or the cart page structure has changed (bug). Historical data shows consistent failures for similar cart verification tests, but without clear baseline of what constitutes correct empty cart behavior.
Impact
Cannot determine if empty cart rendering is correct product behavior or a defect, blocking proper test classification and potentially missing real cart display issues
