Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system test plan for the implementation of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). This plan will detail the objectives, scope, strategy, schedule, resources, and procedures necessary to ensure thorough testing and successful deployment of 2FA in the system.

Objectives

The objective of the system testing for the 2FA implementation is to validate that the two-factor authentication functionality is working as intended, provides the expected level of security, and integrates seamlessly with existing system components.

Scope

The scope of the system testing includes:

• Verification of 2FA setup during the user registration process.
• Validation of the 2FA login process.
• Testing various authentication methods (e.g., SMS, email, authenticator apps).
• Ensuring 2FA works across different user roles and permissions.
• Validating the recovery process for lost or compromised 2FA methods.
• Performance and security testing of the 2FA implementation.

Test Strategy

The test strategy includes the following types of testing:

• Functional Testing: Verify the functionality of 2FA, including setup, login, and recovery processes.
• Performance Testing: Ensure the 2FA process does not degrade system performance.
• Security Testing: Validate that the 2FA provides the required level of security and that there are no vulnerabilities.
• Usability Testing: Ensure the 2FA process is user-friendly and does not hinder user experience.

Test Plan

Test Environment

The test environment will include:

• Hardware: Standard servers and workstations.
• Software: Operating systems, web browsers, and mobile devices.
• Network: Configuration mimicking the production environment.
• Tools: Testing tools such as Selenium, JMeter, and security testing tools.

Test Criteria

• Entry Criteria:

  • 2FA feature is fully developed and unit tested.
  • Test environment is set up and configured.
  • Test cases are reviewed and approved.

• Exit Criteria:

  • All test cases are executed.
  • All critical and high severity defects are resolved.
  • Test summary report is prepared and reviewed.

Defect Management

Defects will be managed using a defect tracking tool. The process will include:

• Recording defects with detailed information.
• Prioritizing and assigning defects to responsible developers.
• Tracking the status of each defect.
• Verifying defect fixes and closing them once resolved.

Risk Management

Potential risks include:

• Delays in test environment setup.
• Unavailability of key resources.
• Integration issues with existing system components.
• Security vulnerabilities in 2FA implementation.

Mitigation strategies:

• Ensure early setup and configuration of the test environment.
• Maintain a resource backup plan.
• Conduct integration testing in parallel.
• Perform thorough security testing and code reviews.
