Total 42 KB ~1,500 Documentation

Plus:

  • 1 Playwright project (code)
  • 1 this report

Key Findings from Initial Screenshot

Discovery #1: Authentication Use-Case

Importance: Critical (P0)

The first screenshot revealed a previously undocumented system component: the Authentication & User Login workflow. This use-case is:

  • Prerequisite for all other use-cases
  • System-critical - blocks all other features
  • Previously undocumented - not in existing USE_CASES files
  • Fully specified - 4 detailed sub-flows documented

Discovery #2: Two Authentication Paths

Finding: UI shows explicit support for:

  1. Microsoft/Azure AD enterprise SSO
  2. Traditional username/password authentication

Discovery #3: Setup Wizard

Finding: Login page includes "Setup Wizard" link for initial configuration

Discovery #4: German Language

Finding: Entire interface is in German:

  • "Benutzername" (Username)
  • "Passwort" (Password)
  • "Anmelden" (Sign In)
  • "Anmelden mit Microsoft" (Sign in with Microsoft)

Current Blocking Issue

Authentication Required for Further Screenshots

Problem: CentronNexus requires successful authentication before displaying feature modules (Ticket-Liste, Dashboard, etc.)

Current State:

  • Playwright can navigate to http://localhost:8050
  • Playwright can capture page content
  • Cannot progress beyond login page without credentials
  • Remaining 33 screenshots blocked

Solutions (in order of preference):

  1. Automated Credentials (Recommended)

    - Provide test user credentials
    - Update Playwright script to auto-login
    - Capture all 34 screenshots unattended
    - Best for CI/CD integration
    
  2. API-Level Authentication

    - Use bearer token for direct API access
    - Skip browser-based login
    - Capture via network calls instead of UI
    - Fastest approach
    
  3. Test Environment Bypass

    - Configure CentronNexus to skip auth in test mode
    - Or configure to trust test headers
    - Quick for development but not production-ready
    
  4. Manual Authentication

    - User logs in manually
    - Run Playwright after authentication
    - Least automated approach
