🔍 COMPLETE PLATFORM EXPLORATION

Comprehensive Analysis: Why Tests Are Slow & Complete Assessment Understanding

Date: 2025-01-20
Purpose: Complete understanding of platform, assessment flow, and performance bottlenecks
Status: ✅ EXPLORATION COMPLETE

📊 WHY TESTS ARE TAKING TOO LONG

Current Execution Times:

  • Full Test Suite: ~55 minutes (3333 seconds)
  • Profile Completion: ~12 minutes (736 seconds)
  • Logout Tests: ~7 minutes each (444 seconds)
  • Password Reset: ~1.5 minutes each (81 seconds)

Root Causes:

1. Backend API Calls (PRIMARY BOTTLENECK)

  • Profile Save Operations: 8 saves × ~3-5 seconds each = 24-40 seconds
  • Backend Sync Delays: Progress updates take 2-5 seconds to reflect
  • Network Latency: Each API call adds 0.5-2 seconds
  • 95% Progress Issue: Backend sync delay prevents reaching 100% immediately

Impact: ~40-50% of total test time

2. Sequential Test Execution

  • Tests run one after another (no parallelization)
  • Each test requires full setup (login, password reset, profile completion)
  • No test data reuse between tests

Impact: ~30-40% of total test time

3. Unnecessary Waits (Already Optimized)

  • ✅ Fixed: 78 time.sleep() calls reduced to 29
  • ✅ Fixed: Smart waits implemented
  • ⚠️ Remaining: Minimal waits for animations (0.1-0.5s) - necessary

Impact: ~10-15% of total test time (already optimized)

4. Profile Completion Complexity

  • 8 Tabs to navigate and fill
  • 30+ Checkboxes to interact with
  • Multiple Saves (8 saves total)
  • Age Verification Modal handling
  • Tab Navigation after saves

Impact: ~15-20% of total test time

🎯 ASSESSMENT FLOW - COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING

🎯 ASSESSMENT AUTOMATION STRATEGY

Key Challenges:

1. Question Volume

  • 100 questions per domain × 6 domains = 600 questions total
  • Estimated time: 10-15 minutes per domain (if answering all questions)
  • Total assessment time: 60-90 minutes for complete assessment

2. Question Type Variety

  • 5 different question types require different interaction strategies
  • Matrix questions are complex (rows × columns)
  • Open-ended questions require text input

3. Sequential Domain Unlocking

  • Domains unlock sequentially (milestone-based)
  • Must complete Domain 1 before Domain 2 unlocks
  • Progress tracking required

4. Mandatory Feedback

  • Domain feedback is mandatory after each domain
  • Final feedback is mandatory after all domains
  • Cannot skip or navigate back

5. Behavioral Guidance Modal

  • Appears if last 5 choices are identical
  • Must be dismissed to continue
  • Random selection strategy needed to avoid

Automation Approach:

Option 1: Full Assessment (Recommended for E2E)

  • Complete all 6 domains
  • Answer all 600 questions
  • Submit all feedback
  • Time: 60-90 minutes
  • Use Case: Complete end-to-end testing

Option 2: Single Domain (Recommended for Component Testing)

  • Complete 1 domain (100 questions)
  • Submit domain feedback
  • Time: 10-15 minutes
  • Use Case: Component testing, faster feedback

Option 3: Sample Questions (Recommended for Quick Testing)

  • Answer first 5-10 questions per domain
  • Skip to submit
  • Time: 2-5 minutes
  • Use Case: Quick smoke tests, CI/CD

Question Answering Strategy:

1. Multiple Choice:

  • Select first option (or random option)
  • Use domain_question__{questionId}__option_{label}

2. True/False:

  • Select "Yes" (True) or random
  • Use domain_question__{questionId}__truefalse_True

3. Rating Scale:

  • Select middle value (3) or random
  • Use domain_question__{questionId}__rating_3

4. Open Ended:

  • Enter sample text (10-50 characters)
  • Use domain_question__{questionId}__textarea

5. Matrix:

  • Select first column for each row (or random)
  • Use domain_question__{questionId}__matrix_{rowIndex}_{columnIndex}

Avoiding Behavioral Guidance:

  • Strategy: Vary selections (don't select same option 5 times in a row)
  • Implementation: Track last 5 selections, ensure variation

📊 PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Parallel Test Execution

  • Current: Sequential (one test at a time)
  • Recommendation: Run independent tests in parallel
  • Expected Improvement: 50-70% faster

2. Test Data Reuse

  • Current: Each test sets up from scratch
  • Recommendation: Reuse test data (login once, use for multiple tests)
  • Expected Improvement: 20-30% faster

3. Backend Optimization

  • Current: 2-5 second delays for progress sync
  • Recommendation: Work with backend team on sync optimization
  • Expected Improvement: 10-20% faster

4. Smart Test Selection

  • Current: Run all tests every time
  • Recommendation: Run only changed tests (pytest markers)
  • Expected Improvement: 30-50% faster

5. Assessment Test Strategy

  • Current: Not implemented yet
  • Recommendation: Use Option 2 (Single Domain) for regular testing, Option 1 (Full Assessment) for nightly builds
  • Expected Improvement: 80-90% faster for regular testing

✅ NEXT STEPS

Immediate Actions:

  1. ✅ Request Data-TestID Implementation - Share requirements with UI team
  2. ✅ Create Assessment Page Objects - Based on exploration findings
  3. ✅ Implement Question Answering Logic - Handle all 5 question types
  4. ✅ Create Assessment Test Suite - Start with single domain tests

Future Optimizations:

  1. ⏳ Parallel Test Execution - Configure pytest-xdist
  2. ⏳ Test Data Reuse - Implement shared fixtures
  3. ⏳ Backend Sync Optimization - Work with backend team
  4. ⏳ Smart Test Selection - Implement pytest markers
