CAPTCHA in automation testing
CAPTCHA makes test automation more difficult, as it was specifically designed to prevent automated bots from using your web app.
For example, if you have a registration form, it might be protected by reCAPTCHA to prevent fake account registrations.
There are multiple captcha providers and each has a different way to disable it. For example, if you use reCAPTCHA you need to set a special "site key".
Excerpt from the reCAPTCHA documentation
You can implement a special secret flag in your backend code to allow BugBug to skip the captcha.
- 1.Add a custom header in your project settings with a secret string of your choice
- 2.On your backend code, add a condition, that the captcha is not required if the request header contains this secret string
