Comprehensive Test Cases for Authentication, Alert & Notifications, and Onboarding on Telex App.

Introduction
Telex.im is for IT professionals such as DevOps, Product Managers, Project Managers, Software Engineers, and Security teams, who need to get real-time notifications per deliverables and achieve efficient communication with teammates and their deployed solutions. Telex.im is a developers' communication tool that ensures seamless communication between both humans and machines.

Methodology
๐Ÿ” Authentication is the gateway to any secure application. A well-tested authentication system ensures data protection, prevents unauthorised access, and enhances user trust. In this blog, we dive into detailed test cases for the authentication module of Telex.im, covering Sign Up and Login functionalities.

๐Ÿš€ Why Authentication Testing is Critical
Authentication failures can lead to security breaches, account takeovers, and data leaks. Testing helps identify weaknesses in:
โœ… User registration flow
โœ… Login and session management
โœ… Password and multi-factor authentication
โœ… Error handling for invalid credentials

To ensure comprehensive coverage, I developed 25 test cases, addressing positive scenarios, negative cases, and edge conditions.

๐Ÿ“Œ Authentication Features Tested:
Sign-Up Process
Key Test Cases:

  • Successful account creation with valid credentials
  • Attempt to sign up with an already registered email
  • Sign up using an invalid email format
  • Magic link verification for authentication

Login Process
Key Test Cases:

  • Successful login with correct credentials
  • Login attempt with incorrect email or password
  • Authentication using a magic link
  • Account lockout after multiple failed login attempts
  • "Forgot Password" functionality to reset access

For full transparency, I have documented all test cases in a Google Sheets document. You can access it here
