Validating reCAPTCHA on the Event Website

Overview

The reCAPTCHA component helps protect event webpages from automated or invalid submissions by verifying that actions are performed by real users. Validating the reCAPTCHA ensures that it is visible, functions correctly, and prevents form submission until verification is completed. This article explains how participants can validate the reCAPTCHA component on the event website.

Step-by-Step Approach

1. Access the Event Website

• Open the event website using the link provided by the event organizer.
• Ensure the webpage loads successfully.

2. Locate the reCAPTCHA Component

• Navigate to the webpage that contains a form or submission action.
• Locate the reCAPTCHA component, typically displayed near the submit or registration button.

3. Validate reCAPTCHA Visibility

• Confirm that the reCAPTCHA component is visible on the webpage.
• Verify that the verification prompt or checkbox is displayed correctly.

4. Validate reCAPTCHA Interaction

• Click or interact with the reCAPTCHA component as required.
• Complete the verification challenge, if prompted.
• Confirm that the verification completes successfully.

5. Validate Form Submission Behaviour

• Attempt to submit the form without completing the reCAPTCHA.
• Verify that submission is blocked until reCAPTCHA verification is completed.
• Submit the form after successful verification and confirm it proceeds as expected.

6. Validate Dependency Behaviour (If Applicable)

• If dependencies are configured, confirm that the reCAPTCHA appears or hides based on the defined conditions.

7. Validate Overall Behaviour

• Ensure the reCAPTCHA component functions without errors.
• Confirm consistent behaviour when refreshing the page or navigating back to the form.
