Introduction

The purpose of this System Test Plan document is to outline the testing strategy, objectives, criteria, and the approach for testing the implementation of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in our system. This document will serve as a guide to ensure that all necessary testing activities are planned and executed to validate the 2FA functionality.

Objectives

The primary objective of the system testing is to ensure that the 2FA implementation meets all specified requirements and functions correctly. This includes verifying that the 2FA system enhances security without compromising usability.

Scope

The scope of the system testing includes:

  • Verification of the 2FA setup process.
  • Validation of the 2FA authentication process.
  • Testing the integration of 2FA with existing user authentication systems.
  • Ensuring usability and user experience is maintained with 2FA enabled.

Test Strategy

The overall test strategy includes the following types of testing:

  • Functional Testing: To verify that the 2FA system functions as expected.
  • Usability Testing: To ensure the 2FA process is user-friendly.
  • Security Testing: To validate the security aspects of the 2FA implementation.
  • Integration Testing: To ensure that 2FA integrates seamlessly with existing systems.

Test Plan

Test Environment

The testing environment will include:

  • Hardware: Standard user devices (desktops, laptops, mobile devices).
  • Software: The application with 2FA implemented, test accounts, and necessary software tools for testing.
  • Network Configurations: Simulated network conditions to test 2FA performance in different scenarios.

Test Criteria

  • Entry Criteria:

    • 2FA system is deployed in the testing environment.
    • Test data is prepared and available.
    • Test cases are reviewed and approved.
  • Exit Criteria:

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

Resources

  • Personnel: Test Manager, Test Lead, Test Engineers, Developers, Business Analyst.
  • Tools: Test management tools, defect tracking tools, automation tools (if applicable).

Roles and Responsibilities

Role Responsibility
Test Manager Oversee the testing process, manage resources, and ensure adherence to the test plan
Test Lead Coordinate testing activities and manage the test team
Test Engineer Design and execute test cases, report defects

Business Analyst Ensure test cases align with business requirements

Defect Management

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

  • Recording defects with detailed information.
  • Prioritizing and assigning defects to developers.
  • Tracking defect status and progress.
  • Retesting resolved defects.

Risk Management

Potential risks include:

  • Delays in environment setup.
  • Unavailability of test data.
  • High number of critical defects.
    Mitigation strategies:
  • Early planning and setup of the test environment.
  • Preparation of comprehensive test data in advance.
  • Prioritizing defect resolution based on severity.
