QA ALIGN Assessment Report

Top Risks

• selenium-bidi-runtime-ineligible risk
• selenium-bidi-contract-missing risk
• selenium-bidi-polling-debt risk

Technical Findings

• Selenium 3 runtime blocks WebDriver BiDi adoption: Detected 13 Selenium 3 package references. WebDriver BiDi readiness cannot be proven until the supported Selenium 4 runtime and browser/driver matrix are established.
• No WebDriver BiDi readiness contract is present: The suite has no executable contract proving that its target browser matrix can establish and use the BiDi capabilities the team intends to adopt.
• Hard sleeps preserve polling-based synchronization debt: Detected 137 hard sleeps across 42 files. Each started group of 15 contributes one readiness-risk point, capped at 12.
• Legacy browser-driver packages prevent a governed BiDi browser matrix: Detected 12 legacy browser-driver package references. The correction landmark must prove the approved browser and driver combination rather than merely changing package versions.
• Browser session lifecycle is fragmented by direct window closes: Detected 53 direct window closes and 3 driver quits. Fragmented close behavior can leave BiDi event subscriptions and evidence ownership ambiguous.
• Legacy .NET target frameworks require an explicit modernization decision: Detected 15 classic .NET Framework project targets. This is not automatically defective, but each project needs an explicit retain, modernize, or retire decision before the portfolio claims BiDi readiness.
• JavaScript execution dependencies require BiDi migration classification: Detected 27 script execution calls. They are not inherently wrong, but they need explicit classification before the suite claims a governed BiDi migration.
• Static driver ownership obscures BiDi event-session boundaries: Detected 1 static driver declarations. Event ownership and teardown must be deterministic before BiDi listeners are added.

Recommended Roadmap

• Proceed through Sprint 5 as part of the recommended correction path.

Estimated Cost to Fix

Cost Breakdown

• Selenium 3 runtime blocks WebDriver BiDi adoption: 4h / $600
• No WebDriver BiDi readiness contract is present: 4h / $600
• Hard sleeps preserve polling-based synchronization debt: 4h / $600
• Legacy browser-driver packages prevent a governed BiDi browser matrix: 4h / $600
• Browser session lifecycle is fragmented by direct window closes: 4h / $600

Immediate Next Steps

• Strengthen deterministic state control:
• - Ensure fresh state per test (no shared auth/session bleed)
• Re-run assessment after fixes to validate trust level improvement.
