A Proposal for Manually Accepting Test Cases/Confirmations/Test Invitations/User Stories with CAPTCHA Integration"
Basit
Hello Everyone,
I have also noted, and you must have also noted how test invitations/confirmations/test cases/user stories are accepted at the speed of light. I don't think I also manually accept, but by chance, a confirmation/test case gets accepted, but how do some testers accept these things so quickly? Ever thought about it? As far as I think, some testers use bots/Auto Clickers that automatically do this work. Now I may receive criticism for this and I am absolutely ready for it :)
So, idea (by the way it's a suggestion from TL Victor) is that something should be done that would allow test case/confirmations/test invitations to be manually accepted. For example, the inclusion of CAPTCHA.

Hi Basit
Unfortunately, I do not have any confirmation that any of the testers use bots. Theoretically this is of course possible.
It’s quite rare for me to catch a bugfix, but it’s possible.
But I often noticed that after accepting the invitation on my dashboard, the notification about this cycle came much later, even in the TestNow application or in my email. Network lags are a common occurrence.
Personally, I don't like the idea of accepting invitations using CAPTCHA. If it is a third-party service, then we will be heavily dependent on its work. In addition, any bug or unavailability of this service will cause great damage to both the platform and the morale of the testers. Imagine that you managed to open the testcase acceptance page and entered a complex captcha incorrectly and did not have time to make a second attempt.

Hi AV-Master:
The developers have confirmed that late notifications do indeed occur, which according to them will be fixed.
As for whether testers use it or not, some testers have been caught using it in a test cycle, but I am not sure who was right or not.
However, your last point resonated with me that this is not the solution to the problem.
According to your expierence, What's the solution of this problem?

Basit: Hard to say. If we assume that testers do not use bots, then the fastest ones win, this is normal. If we assume that the testers are using bots, then perhaps the developers should apply some changes that will prevent the bots from working effectively.
