<![CDATA[How to Handle CAPTCHA and Rate Limits for Automated Testing in FusionAuth]]>We are developing our automatic frontend tests for our application that integrates FusionAuth. Currently, we are encountering a captcha that is preventing our tests from running on developers' computers. Based on FusionAuth documentation, we can obtain a whitelist for our static IP; however, some developers work remotely, and we plan to integrate tests into our CI/CD pipeline in the future.

We are searching for a solution; at the moment, the whitelist for static IPs is the only available option. Are there alternative solutions? Our instance is on the older infrastructure, we could update it and set a custom domain but in the current setup it will be a subdomain which would not enable the use of the same cookies because it will not be the same origin.

Updating your instance wouldn't change your situation. Currently, the only options are what you found outlined in the documentation you mentioned.

As we build out our Cloud Offerings there may be other options, but this is what is currently available. Oftentimes, we find that people will use a local copy of FusionAuth to complete their automated testing if they cannot locate an IP address that meets our allowlisting requirements.
