- Submit Button State: No explicit handling if submit button becomes disabled unexpectedly
3. Customization Capabilities (High)
✅ Configurable Components
3.1 Randomized Waits
- File:
utils/randomized_wait.py(210 lines) - Customization:
- Per-question-type wait ranges
- Per-action wait ranges (next, previous, submit)
- Per-context wait ranges (page_load, modal, navigation)
- Evidence: All wait ranges are configurable constants
3.2 Answer Strategies
- Random Selection: All question types support random answers
- Custom Answers: All question types accept custom values
- Fallback Logic: Automatic fallback to random if custom value invalid
3.3 Error Thresholds
- Configurable:
max_consecutive_failures = 3(line 382) - Configurable:
max_questions = 100(line 376) - Evidence:
test_answer_all_questions_in_domainLines 375-376
3.4 Test Scope
- Single Domain: Fully customizable (answer count, question types, etc.)
- Multi-Domain: Configurable via domain selection logic
⚠️ Limited Customization Areas
- Answer Text Templates: Open-ended questions use hardcoded default text
- Question Selection: No mechanism to select specific questions (e.g., "answer only rating_scale questions")
- Submission Strategy: No option to skip submission or customize submission flow
