Automation Reliability Investigation
Stabilizing ERPNext Autocomplete Automation
During ERPNext QA automation development, automated tests failed intermittently when interacting with autocomplete dropdown fields. This case study demonstrates the debugging methodology applied to identify and resolve the underlying synchronization issue.
Failure Observation
Tests targeting autocomplete fields failed sporadically. Same test passed in one run but failed in the next. Error occurred during input field interaction and option selection.
Reproduce
Ran failing test multiple times to isolate conditions. Confirmed intermittent nature: failures occurred randomly, not deterministically. Pattern suggested timing or synchronization issue.
Observe
Used browser DevTools and Playwright logging to inspect DOM state during execution. Observed that dropdown options appeared after click event, suggesting asynchronous rendering behavior.
Investigate
Analyzed Playwright selector and timing. Found that test attempted to select dropdown option before DOM fully rendered. Root cause: missing wait for dropdown options to be visible before interaction.
Root Cause
Autocomplete dropdown options rendered asynchronously. Test code selected option immediately after click without waiting for dropdown to populate. Race condition between DOM update and test execution.
Fix
Added explicit wait for dropdown options using
page.waitForSelector() with appropriate
timeout. Modified Page Object method to wait for
visible options before selection.
Verify
Repeated the test execution after the fix to confirm stable behavior. Verified the correction didn't introduce delays or break other workflows. Test now executes reliably in the CI pipeline.
Lesson
Automation reliability depends on proper synchronization with application behavior. Explicit waits for UI state changes prevent race conditions. This investigation strengthened overall test architecture.
Verified Achievements
Measurable outcomes from independent QA work.

Why Hire a QA Engineer?
Quality is not an afterthought.
I approach software testing as a critical thinking exercise: understanding how products fail,
validating that systems behave correctly under real conditions, and providing clear evidence to
inform release decisions.
Every test is intentional.
I write automation that catches real bugs, validates business logic, and scales with your system.
No cargo-cult testing. No false confidence from high test counts.
Your code can be inspected.
My approach is transparent: architecture, test design, automation patterns and results are open
on GitHub. Not promises—proof.
