Quality Assurance

Introduction​

Quality assurance (QA) is the process of ensuring that a software product meets its quality standards. QA is important for all software products, but it is especially important for security-critical applications such as decentralized auth based wallets.

QA Steps​

The following are some key QA steps that can be taken to test and secure a secure, decentralized auth based wallet:

  1. Functional testing: Functional testing is the process of testing the functionality of the wallet to ensure that it meets all of its requirements. This includes testing the following features:

    • User authentication
    • Account creation and management
    • Cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals
    • Transaction signing and broadcasting
    • Two-factor authentication
    • Social recovery

  2. Security testing: Security testing is the process of testing the wallet for security vulnerabilities. This includes testing the following areas:

    • Cryptographic implementations
    • Key management
    • Transaction processing
    • User authentication and authorization
    • Session management

  3. Performance testing: Performance testing is the process of testing the wallet to ensure that it can handle the expected load. This includes testing the following:

    • Transaction throughput
    • Response times
    • Memory usage
    • CPU usage

  4. Usability testing: Usability testing is the process of testing the wallet to ensure that it is easy to use. This includes testing the following areas:

    • User interface design
    • Navigation
    • Help and documentation

Our Goals for Implementation​

  • Use strong cryptography: All cryptographic algorithms used in the wallet should be strong and well-tested.
  • Implement secure key management: Private keys should be stored securely on the user's device and encrypted at rest and in transit.
  • Verify all transactions before broadcast: All transactions should be verified before being broadcast to the blockchain to prevent malicious transactions from being broadcast.
