Autonomous Testing Priority

The fastest test: just omit the CAPTCHA field entirely. Most CAPTCHA bypass bugs are client-side-only validation.

Pattern 1 — Omit the CAPTCHA field (most common, most automatable):

1. GET the form/endpoint that shows a CAPTCHA to understand its field name (usually g-recaptcha-response, captcha, captcha_token, captcha_answer, h-captcha-response)
2. POST the form with ALL fields EXCEPT the CAPTCHA field
3. If the action succeeds (200, redirect, or "success" message) → no server-side CAPTCHA validation
4. Proof: the state-changing action completes without a valid CAPTCHA field (compare against a baseline request that includes it)

Pattern 2 — Empty or null CAPTCHA value: Instead of omitting the field entirely, include it with an empty string, null, 0, or undefined:

captcha=&email=test@example.com&password=test123

Some apps validate field presence but not content.
