Testing Areas
Manual web testing is where workflow understanding meets adversarial curiosity. Automated scanners can identify known patterns, but logic and authorization issues require careful state changes and role-aware testing.
Checklist
- Authentication and session boundaries
- Authorization across roles, tenants, and object IDs
- API input handling and schema assumptions
- Business logic abuse paths
- File upload and parser behavior
- Client-side trust boundaries
Keep notes reproducible. A good finding should let another tester confirm the issue without guessing.
