Good, the page has loaded. Now let me start the GIF recording and begin the test.
The page is loaded. I can see the "Incident Updates" section and an "Add Incident Update" button. Let me click it to expand a new update form.
I need to scroll down to see if the button click opened a new update form. Let me scroll down first.
I can see the "Add Incident Update" button. I need to click it to open a new incident update form. Let me click it now.
A new incident update has been added and I can see the Author field with a "-- Select Author --" dropdown. Now let me click the dropdown to inspect its options.
The dropdown is focused. Let me use JavaScript to extract all the options from the Author dropdown to verify them programmatically.
I have all the data I need. Let me now capture the final screenshot of the open dropdown and stop the recording.
Now let me open the dropdown and take a zoomed screenshot showing all options.
All tests have been executed. Here is the complete test report:
