you need to find out from the client how many transactions the app
performs (not static pages but actual functions such as transactions
done through servlets for example), how users authenticate (form based
user/pass or multi stage with soft/hard tokens for example), and how
many accounts at different privilege levels (need at least 2 accounts
at every level to test horizontal and veritical attacks) Additionally
you also want to know if this app is tied into any other apps, such as
it takes in data and/or authentication tokens from another app such as
from a business partner. Basically you need to walk through the
application yourself briefly and get detailed information from the
client for each app. With this said app tests should take anywhere
from 4 to 20 working days (or even more) including reporting.
