Test authentication mechanisms to ensure they properly protect against unauthorized access.

When to Use

• After auth implementation
• Security audits
• Before releases
• After auth changes

Process

1. Test valid authentication
2. Test invalid credentials
3. Test session management
4. Test token security
5. Test edge cases

StudyAbroad-Specific Considerations

• OAuth2 flow testing
• JWT token validation
• Session timeout testing
• Concurrent session handling
