Cross-Browser & Responsive Testing Audit

Agent: test-engineer Date: 2026-03-21 Task: Conduct cross-browser and responsive testing

---

Summary

Rewrote tests/cross-browser.spec.ts (390 lines → 480 lines) with accurate selectors based on the actual implementation. The existing file had several bugs that would cause false passes or incorrect test behavior.

---

Issues Found in Original File

#	Issue	Severity	Fix Applied
1	el.validity.valid checks on a novalidate form	High	Removed — contact form uses custom JS validation, not HTML5
2	Mobile menu selector button[aria-label*="menu"] too broad	Medium	Changed to #mobile-menu-toggle (actual ID)
3	Portfolio filter used text-matching button:has-text("AI") instead of data-filter="ai"	Medium	Fixed to use data-filter attribute selectors
4	waitForURL('**${link.url}') pattern lacks trailing ** for query string	Low	Fixed
5	Blog code block test: expect(hasCode).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(0) — always passes	High	Rewrote to test actual rendering quality
6	No tests for mobile menu body.style.overflow lock behavior	Medium	Added
7	No tests for portfolio modal (open, close, Escape key)	High	Added
8	No header scroll behavior tests	Low	Added
9	waitForTimeout(1000) used excessively — slows CI	Low	Reduced to targeted waits
10	Portfolio filter count check didn't verify category attributes	Medium	Fixed to verify data-category values

Known Limitations

• Edge browser tests: Playwright's msedge requires Edge installed on the test machine. The config has it configured but it may be skipped in CI if not available.
• Blog posts: Test suite gracefully skips post-navigation tests if no blog content exists in the content collection.
• Contact form submission: Form POST is not tested here (covered in contact-form.spec.ts and api-integration.spec.ts). Only UI behavior is tested.
• Visual regression: Screenshots saved to tests/screenshots/ for manual review only. No baseline comparison is automated (would require Playwright visual comparison setup).
