Testing

Goal: Verify security and privacy controls work as intended.

1. Create a security test plan covering unit, integration, system, and acceptance tests.
   
2. Include privacy test cases validating consent, data minimization, and access controls. 
   
3. Conduct vulnerability scanning and dynamic application security testing (DAST).
   
4. Arrange independent penetration testing for critical systems and production environments. 
   
5. Perform usability testing to ensure privacy settings and notices are clear and actionable.
   
6. Run regression tests after patches and new features to prevent reintroducing vulnerabilities.
