Test Description / Objective

This test verifies that the vulnerability scanning tool successfully detects, categorizes, and reports known security vulnerabilities in the system.

Links to Requirements or Other Sources

• Use Case: Use-case-FEA010

Test Preconditions

• The vulnerability scanning tool is correctly integrated and configured.
• The system contains at least one known vulnerable dependency for testing purposes.

Test Steps

1. Trigger a manual vulnerability scan from the system.
2. Verify that the scan initiates and completes within the expected timeframe.
3. Check if vulnerabilities in dependencies and configurations are detected.
4. Verify that vulnerabilities are categorized correctly (critical, high, medium, low).
5. Ensure that the generated report includes descriptions, severity levels, and mitigation recommendations.
6. Confirm that notifications are sent to relevant stakeholders (developer, security officer, project manager).
7. Introduce a known vulnerability and rerun the scan to verify detection.

Test End-State

• The system successfully detects vulnerabilities and generates a report with appropriate details.
• Developers and security teams receive notifications about the identified issues.

To Be Taken Into Account During Test

• False positives and their handling.
• The tool’s ability to detect new vulnerabilities added after its last update.
• Performance impact of scanning on system resources.

Test Result (Pass/Fail Criteria)

• PASS: The tool successfully detects and reports vulnerabilities with severity categorization.
• FAIL: The tool fails to detect known vulnerabilities, generates incorrect reports, or does not notify relevant users.
