Introduction
This document outlines the system test plan for the implementation of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in our system. The purpose is to define the strategies and processes that will be used to validate the successful implementation of 2FA.
Objectives
The primary objective of this system test plan is to ensure that the 2FA implementation meets the required security standards and functions correctly. This includes verifying that users can successfully authenticate using both their primary and secondary authentication factors.
Scope
The scope of the system testing includes the following functionalities:
- User enrollment in 2FA
- Generation and delivery of the second authentication factor
- Verification of the second authentication factor
- User experience during the authentication process
- System response to incorrect or expired authentication factors
- Integration with existing authentication mechanisms
Test Strategy
The overall test strategy will include the following types of testing:
- Functional Testing: To verify that the 2FA functionalities work as intended.
- Usability Testing: To ensure that the user experience is smooth and intuitive.
- Security Testing: To validate that the 2FA implementation meets security standards.
- Performance Testing: To ensure that the 2FA process does not degrade system performance.
Test Plan
Test Environment
The testing environment will comprise:
- Hardware: Standard user devices (smartphones, laptops, desktops)
- Software: Operating systems (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android), web browsers, and any required applications
- Network Configurations: Secure network connections, VPNs if necessary
- Other Components: 2FA service providers, email/SMS gateways for delivering the second factor
Test Criteria
- Entry Criteria:
- Test environment is set up and configured.
- Test cases and test data are prepared.
