Rage Bait Testing
Rage Bait Testing is a testing methodology implemented in Rihario to simulate impatient, frustrated, or confused user behavior, identifying User Experience (UX) flaws that functional tests miss.
Why Traditional Testing Misses This
Traditional "Happy Path" testing assumes the user knows exactly what to do and patiently waits for every loader. Real users do not. Real users rage-click when buttons don't react instantly. Real users try to click background overlays. Real users spot "fake" close buttons.
The 5 Rage Patterns
1. The Dead Click
Elements that look clickable (cursor: pointer) but do nothing when clicked.
2. The Rage Click
Rapidly clicking a button multiple times because the first click provided no feedback.
3. The Layover Trap
Modals or banners that are impossible to close or overlap critical navigation.
4. The Layout Shift
Content that jumps (CLS) right as the user is about to click, causing a mis-click.
5. The Dark Pattern
Intentionally confusing unsubscribe flows or hidden costs.
How Rihario Implements This
Rage Bait Testing is implemented in Rihario using Behavioral AI Agents. Unlike standard scripts, these agents are programmed with a "frustration threshold." If an interaction takes too long, they will attempt to click again, check for console errors, or try to bypass the blocker, logging a "Frustration Signal" event for every occurrence.
