DEBUGGING SELENIUM FAILURES WITH INTELLIJ STACK TRACES AND CHROME DEVTOOLS: CASE STUDIES IN RETAIL QA

Abstract Automated testing is an essential component of retail quality assurance (QA), wherein checkout procedures and product catalogues, as well as transactional workflows, have to be maintained during the times of high demand. Regression and functional testing have gained popularity with selenium, but it is prone to fail due to dynamic content, asynchronous updates, and environmental variability, instead of actual defects. Classical logs are not as diagnostic as possible, which makes the triage process longer and lowers the trust in automated pipelines. The paper is a case-based analysis of debugging the failures with Selenium failures using IntelliJ IDEA and Chrome DevTools in a retail QA setting. IntelliJ supports stack trace for forensics, breakpoint analysis, and dependency management whereas Chrome DevTools provides runtime visibility with network, console, and DOM inspection support. There are recurrent problems in case studies including stale element reference, timing issues and latency-induced false negative and how joint diagnostic methods led to shortened triage and enhanced reproducibility. The research will introduce a viable framework of evidence-based debugging, increasing the stability of tests, collaboration, and CI/CD resiliency to retail pipelines.
