Introduction

The purpose of this document is to define the System Test Plan for the 2FA Project. This plan outlines the testing strategy, resources, schedule, and deliverables required to ensure the successful implementation of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

Objectives

The primary objective of the system testing is to verify that the 2FA implementation functions correctly and meets all specified requirements. This includes ensuring the security, usability, and performance of the 2FA system.

Scope

The scope of the system testing includes:

• Verification of user authentication using 2FA.
• Validation of various 2FA methods (e.g., SMS, email, authenticator apps).
• Ensuring seamless integration with existing authentication systems.
• Testing the user experience during 2FA setup and login processes.
• Performance and security testing of the 2FA system.

Test Strategy

The testing strategy for the 2FA Project includes:

• Functional Testing: To verify that all 2FA features function as intended.
• Performance Testing: To ensure the system performs well under expected load conditions.
• Security Testing: To identify and mitigate any potential security vulnerabilities.
• Usability Testing: To ensure the 2FA process is user-friendly and intuitive.

Test Plan

Test Environment

The testing environment will include:

• Hardware: Test servers, workstations, mobile devices.
• Software: Operating systems, browsers, authentication systems.
• Network: Configurations that mimic production network settings.
• Any additional components required for 2FA methods (e.g., SMS gateways, email servers).

Test Criteria

• Entry Criteria:
  • Test environment set up and configured.
  • Test data prepared.
  • Test cases reviewed and approved.
• Exit Criteria:
  • All test cases executed.
  • All critical and major defects resolved.
  • Test summary report completed and reviewed.

Test Deliverables

• Test cases and test scripts.
• Test data.
• Test execution reports.
• Defect reports.
• Test summary report.

Test Schedule

The high-level schedule for testing activities:

• Test Planning: 03/01/2025 - 03/05/2025
• Test Case Development: 03/06/2025 - 03/10/2025
• Test Environment Setup: 03/11/2025 - 03/12/2025
• Test Execution: 03/13/2025 - 03/20/2025
• Test Closure: 03/21/2025 - 03/22/2025

Resources

The resources required for testing:

• Personnel: Test Manager, Test Lead, Test Engineers, Developers, Business Analyst.
• Tools: Test management tools, defect tracking tools, performance testing tools.

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
Developer	Fix defects and provide technical support
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 categorizing defects.
• Assigning defects to the appropriate team members for resolution.
• Tracking the status of defects until closure.

Risk Management

Potential risks and mitigation strategies:

• Risk: Delays in test environment setup.
  • Mitigation: Ensure early planning and preparation.
• Risk: High number of defects.
  • Mitigation: Conduct thorough reviews and incremental testing.
• Risk: Security vulnerabilities.
  • Mitigation: Perform rigorous security testing and code reviews.

Communication Plan

Communication Type	Audience	Frequency	Medium	Owner
Status Report	Project Team	Weekly	Email	Test Manager
Defect Review Meeting	Key Stakeholders	Bi-weekly	Meeting	Test Lead
Test Summary Report	All Stakeholders	End of Testing Phase	Document	Test Manager
