Comprehensive Test Analysis and Improvements

Date: 2025-12-11
Test: test_answer_all_questions_in_domain
Status: ✅ WORKING - Test is successfully looping through questions

---

🎯 Summary

The test is now working correctly and successfully:

• ✅ Detecting questions
• ✅ Answering questions (rating_scale type)
• ✅ Navigating to next questions
• ✅ Checking submit button state
• ✅ Progressing through the assessment loop

---

🔧 Fixes Implemented

Fix 1: Rating Scale Dynamic Values ✅

Problem: Rating scale questions can have dynamic option values (not just '1'-'5'), such as:

• "Strongly Disagree", "Disagree", "Neutral", "Agree", "Strongly Agree"
• Custom labels from question settings
• Numeric strings from options array

Solution: Updated answer_rating_scale() method to:

1. Dynamically find all rating options using CSS selector pattern: [data-testid^='domain_question__{id}__rating_']
2. Extract values from data-testid attributes using regex
3. Fallback to numeric '1'-'5' if nothing found

File: utils/question_answer_helper.py
Status: ✅ FIXED

Fix 2: Wait Method Timeout Parameter ✅

Problem: wait_for_element_visible() was being called with timeout parameter but didn't accept it

Solution: Updated wait_for_element_visible() and wait_for_element_invisible() to accept optional timeout parameter:

• If timeout is provided, creates a new WebDriverWait with that timeout
• Otherwise, uses the default EXPLICIT_WAIT from config

File: utils/wait_helpers.py
Status: ✅ FIXED

Fix 3: Test Loop Logic ✅

Problem: Test was breaking out of loop after only 1 question

Solution: Enhanced test loop with:

1. Better logging at each step (question ID, type, submit button state, next button visibility)
2. Robust submit button checks (both is_enabled() and is_displayed())
3. Better handling when next button is not visible (check if submit is available)
4. Wait for submit button to become enabled if needed (3 seconds)
5. Clear error messages and progress tracking

File: tests/student_assessment/test_03_domain_assessment.py
Status: ✅ FIXED

Fix 4: URL Navigation Wait ✅

Problem: wait_for_url_contains() was being called with unexpected timeout parameter

Solution: Removed timeout parameter from method signature (uses EXPLICIT_WAIT from config)

File: utils/wait_helpers.py, pages/domains_page.py
Status: ✅ FIXED

📊 Test Execution Flow

Current Working Flow:

1. ✅ Smart assessment setup (login, password reset if needed, profile completion if needed)
2. ✅ Navigate to assessments page
3. ✅ Select first assessment
4. ✅ Navigate to domains page
5. ✅ Select first domain
6. ✅ Dismiss instructions modal
7. ✅ Loop through questions:
   • Detect question ID ✅
   • Detect question type ✅
   • Answer question ✅
   • Check submit button state ✅
   • If not enabled, click Next ✅
   • Repeat until all questions answered ✅
8. ⏳ Submit assessment (will happen when all questions answered)
9. ⏳ Confirm submission
10. ⏳ Wait for success modal
11. ⏳ Submit domain feedback

📈 Test Progress

Current Status: Test is running and successfully answering questions

Observed Behavior:

• ✅ Questions detected correctly (IDs: 227, 245, 223, 231, 244, 248, 220, 229, 230, 217, 242, 243, 225, 228, 233, 218, 241, ...)
• ✅ All questions so far are rating_scale type
• ✅ Questions answered successfully
• ✅ Next button clicks working correctly
• ✅ Submit button correctly shows enabled=False until all questions answered
• ✅ Loop continues through multiple questions (17+ questions answered so far)

Expected: Test will continue until all ~100 questions are answered, then submit button will become enabled and test will proceed to submission.

📝 Code Changes Summary

Files Modified:

1. utils/question_answer_helper.py

   • Updated answer_rating_scale() to handle dynamic option values
   • Method now dynamically finds all rating options instead of hardcoding '1'-'5'

2. utils/wait_helpers.py

   • Updated wait_for_element_visible() to accept optional timeout parameter
   • Updated wait_for_element_invisible() to accept optional timeout parameter
   • Fixed wait_for_url_contains() method signature

3. tests/student_assessment/test_03_domain_assessment.py

   • Enhanced test loop with better logging
   • Improved submit button checks
   • Better next button handling
   • Added wait for submit button to become enabled

4. pages/domains_page.py

   • Updated to use fixed wait_for_url_contains() method

---

✅ Success Criteria Met

• Question detection working
• Question type detection working
• Question answering working (rating_scale)
• Navigation between questions working
• Submit button state checking working
• Test loop progressing correctly
• No errors in question answering
• No errors in navigation

---

🎯 Next Steps

1. Monitor test completion - Wait for test to finish all questions and submit
2. Verify submission flow - Check if submission, confirmation, and feedback work correctly
3. Test other question types - Verify multiple_choice, true_false, open_ended, matrix work correctly
4. Performance optimization - If needed, optimize wait times and question detection
5. Error handling - Add more robust error handling for edge cases

---

💡 Key Learnings

1. Rating scale questions can have dynamic values, not just numeric '1'-'5'
2. Submit button requires all questions to be answered before becoming enabled
3. Next button visibility check needs to verify both displayed and enabled states
4. Test logging is crucial for debugging loop behavior
5. Wait strategies need to account for UI state changes (submit button becoming enabled)
6. Method signatures must match actual usage (timeout parameters)
