Hi,

This is prasad

In Security point of view we can test only the password field (textbox). The following cases can be tested.

1. Whether the field is encrypted.
2. Whether we can able to copy the password from the field (It should not allow).
3. The Boundary condition (depends)
4. Data validation (depends - only character, only numbers, alphanumeric, etc.....)

TC1 : Typing of password should be displayed as "*" . no characters should be
displayed
TC2 : Inserting of password [ by copy paste] may be allowed on front end , but
should not be allowed on application scripting
TC3 : Attempt to copy paste of typed password in the text field should be failed
TC4 : The entered data should not be displayed in the URL
TC5 : Login successfully and make logout, Click the back button on browser page,
the page should not be displayed. [should ask for the user to redo login
process] it will go on . ....[but becomes too exhaustive]
