## Chapter 5: Comprehensive Security Testing

Now we'll thoroughly test our security system to ensure it works correctly in all scenarios. This chapter covers comprehensive validation, edge cases, and real-world testing patterns.

### Step 1: Test User Isolation

Let's verify that users can only see appropriate data based on their roles and permissions:

```sql
-- Test as Alice (System Admin) - should see everything
SET "c77_rbac.external_id" TO '1';

SELECT 'Alice (Admin) - Users visible:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as total_users, 
       count(CASE WHEN employee_type = 'admin' THEN 1 END) as admins,
       count(CASE WHEN employee_type = 'manager' THEN 1 END) as managers,
       count(CASE WHEN employee_type = 'employee' THEN 1 END) as employees
FROM users;

SELECT 'Alice (Admin) - Projects visible:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as total_projects,
       count(CASE WHEN status = 'active' THEN 1 END) as active_projects
FROM projects;

SELECT 'Alice (Admin) - Documents by security level:' as test;
SELECT security_level, count(*) as document_count
FROM documents 
GROUP BY security_level 
ORDER BY security_level;

SELECT 'Alice (Admin) - Expenses visible:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as total_expenses,
       sum(amount) as total_amount,
       count(CASE WHEN status = 'approved' THEN 1 END) as approved_count
FROM expenses;
```

```sql
-- Test as Bob (Engineering Manager) - should see engineering department
SET "c77_rbac.external_id" TO '101';

SELECT 'Bob (Eng Manager) - Users visible:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as total_users,
       string_agg(DISTINCT d.name, ', ') as departments_visible
FROM users u
LEFT JOIN departments d ON u.department_id = d.id;

SELECT 'Bob (Eng Manager) - Projects visible:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as total_projects,
       string_agg(p.name, ', ') as project_names
FROM projects p
JOIN departments d ON p.department_id = d.id;

SELECT 'Bob (Eng Manager) - Documents visible by security level:' as test;
SELECT security_level, count(*) as document_count
FROM documents 
GROUP BY security_level 
ORDER BY security_level;

SELECT 'Bob (Eng Manager) - Can access confidential docs:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as confidential_docs
FROM documents 
WHERE security_level = 'confidential';

SELECT 'Bob (Eng Manager) - Cannot access restricted docs:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as restricted_docs
FROM documents 
WHERE security_level = 'restricted';
```

```sql
-- Test as Carol (Regular Developer) - should see limited data
SET "c77_rbac.external_id" TO '102';

SELECT 'Carol (Developer) - Users visible:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as total_users FROM users;

SELECT 'Carol (Developer) - Projects visible:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as total_projects,
       string_agg(p.name, ', ') as accessible_projects
FROM projects p;

SELECT 'Carol (Developer) - Documents by security level:' as test;
SELECT security_level, count(*) as document_count
FROM documents 
GROUP BY security_level 
ORDER BY security_level;

SELECT 'Carol (Developer) - Own expenses vs total:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as visible_expenses,
       count(CASE WHEN submitted_by = 102 THEN 1 END) as own_expenses
FROM expenses;
```

```sql
-- Test as Eve (Contractor) - should see very limited data
SET "c77_rbac.external_id" TO '104';

SELECT 'Eve (Contractor) - Users visible:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as total_users FROM users;

SELECT 'Eve (Contractor) - Projects visible:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as total_projects,
       string_agg(p.name, ', ') as accessible_projects
FROM projects p;

SELECT 'Eve (Contractor) - Documents by security level:' as test;
SELECT security_level, count(*) as document_count
FROM documents 
GROUP BY security_level 
ORDER BY security_level;

SELECT 'Eve (Contractor) - Can only see public and own documents:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as total_docs,
       count(CASE WHEN security_level = 'public' THEN 1 END) as public_docs,
       count(CASE WHEN author_id = 104 THEN 1 END) as own_docs
FROM documents;
```

### Step 2: Test Cross-Department Access

Verify that special roles (HR, Finance) can access data across departments:

```sql
-- Test as Iris (HR Manager) - should see all employees but limited other data
SET "c77_rbac.external_id" TO '301';

SELECT 'Iris (HR Manager) - Can see all employees:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as total_users,
       count(DISTINCT department_id) as departments_covered
FROM users;

SELECT 'Iris (HR Manager) - Can see confidential HR docs:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as confidential_docs
FROM documents 
WHERE security_level = 'confidential';

SELECT 'Iris (HR Manager) - Cannot see restricted financial docs:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as restricted_docs
FROM documents 
WHERE security_level = 'restricted';

SELECT 'Iris (HR Manager) - Department expense visibility:' as test;
SELECT d.name as department, count(e.id) as expense_count
FROM departments d
LEFT JOIN expenses e ON d.id = e.department_id
GROUP BY d.name
ORDER BY d.name;
```

```sql
-- Test as Kelly (Finance Manager) - should see all expenses and restricted docs
SET "c77_rbac.external_id" TO '401';

SELECT 'Kelly (Finance Manager) - Can see all expenses:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as total_expenses,
       sum(amount) as total_amount,
       count(DISTINCT department_id) as departments_covered
FROM expenses;

SELECT 'Kelly (Finance Manager) - Can see restricted docs:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as restricted_docs
FROM documents 
WHERE security_level = 'restricted';

SELECT 'Kelly (Finance Manager) - Expense breakdown by department:' as test;
SELECT d.name as department, 
       count(e.id) as expense_count,
       coalesce(sum(e.amount), 0) as total_amount
FROM departments d
LEFT JOIN expenses e ON d.id = e.department_id
GROUP BY d.name
ORDER BY total_amount DESC;
```

### Step 3: Test Permission Functions Directly

Let's test the core permission functions with various scenarios:

```sql
-- Reset context for direct function testing
RESET "c77_rbac.external_id";
```

### Step 7: Integration Testing Scenarios

Let's test realistic application scenarios:

```sql
-- Create comprehensive integration test scenarios
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_real_world_scenarios()
RETURNS TABLE(
    scenario_name TEXT,
    user_name TEXT,
    action_attempted TEXT,

DECLARE
    test_cases RECORD;
    row_count INTEGER;
    can_access_result BOOLEAN;
BEGIN

    WHERE id != 102 AND salary IS NOT NULL;
    
    RETURN QUERY SELECT 
        'Salary Privacy'::TEXT,

        CASE WHEN row_count <= 5 THEN 'Limited access' ELSE 'Too much access' END,
        CASE WHEN row_count <= 5 THEN 'PASS' ELSE 'FAIL' END;
    
    -- Scenario 2: Manager approves department expense
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '101', true); -- Bob (Eng Manager)
    SELECT count(*) INTO row_count 
    FROM expenses 
    WHERE department_id = 1 AND status = 'submitted';
    
    SELECT public.c77_rbac_can_access('approve_dept_expenses', '101', 'department', 'ENG') 
    INTO can_access_result;

    -- Scenario 3: HR accesses employee data across all departments
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '301', true); -- Iris (HR)
    SELECT count(DISTINCT department_id) INTO row_count FROM users;
    
    RETURN QUERY SELECT 
        'HR Cross-Department Access'::TEXT,
        'Iris (HR Manager)'::TEXT,
        'Access employees from all departments'::TEXT,
        'Should see employees from all 5 departments'::TEXT,
        format('Sees employees from %s departments', row_count),
        CASE WHEN row_count >= 5 THEN 'PASS' ELSE 'FAIL' END;
    
    -- Scenario 4: Contractor tries to access confidential project docs
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '104', true); -- Eve (Contractor)
    SELECT count(*) INTO row_count

    WHERE security_level = 'confidential';
    
    RETURN QUERY SELECT

        'Access confidential documents'::TEXT,
        'Should see very few or no confidential docs'::TEXT,
        format('Sees %s confidential documents', row_count),
        CASE WHEN row_count <= 1 THEN 'PASS' ELSE 'FAIL' END;
    
    -- Scenario 5: Finance staff reviews all company expenses
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '401', true); -- Kelly (Finance)
    SELECT count(DISTINCT department_id) INTO row_count FROM expenses;
    
    RETURN QUERY SELECT 
        'Finance Global Access'::TEXT,
        'Kelly (Finance Manager)'::TEXT,
        'Review expenses from all departments'::TEXT,
        'Should see expenses from all departments'::TEXT,
        format('Sees expenses from %s departments', row_count),
        CASE WHEN row_count >= 4 THEN 'PASS' ELSE 'FAIL' END;
    
    -- Scenario 6: Project member accesses project-specific data
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '102', true); -- Carol (Project Member)
    SELECT count(*) INTO row_count 
    FROM projects p
    WHERE EXISTS (
        SELECT 1 FROM project_members pm 
        WHERE pm.project_id = p.id AND pm.user_id = 102
    );
    
    RETURN QUERY SELECT 
        'Project Team Access'::TEXT,

END;
$;

-- Run real-world scenario tests
SELECT 'Real-World Integration Test Results:' as test_section;
SELECT * FROM test_real_world_scenarios();
```

### Step 8: Security Validation Tests

Let's verify our security isolation is working properly:

```sql
-- Comprehensive security validation
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION validate_security_isolation()
RETURNS TABLE(
    security_test TEXT,
    description TEXT,
    result TEXT,
    security_status TEXT
) LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $
DECLARE
    admin_count INTEGER;
    user_count INTEGER;
    isolation_breach BOOLEAN := FALSE;
BEGIN
    -- Test 1: Verify users cannot access data without proper context
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '', true);
    SELECT count(*) INTO user_count FROM users;
    
    RETURN QUERY SELECT 
        'No Context Access'::TEXT,
        'Data access without user context'::TEXT,
        format('Returns %s rows', user_count),
        CASE WHEN user_count = 0 THEN 'SECURE' ELSE 'BREACH' END;
    
    -- Test 2: Verify admin sees more than regular users
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '1', true); -- Admin
    SELECT count(*) INTO admin_count FROM users;
    
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '102', true); -- Regular user
    SELECT count(*) INTO user_count FROM users;
    
    RETURN QUERY SELECT 
        'Admin vs User Access'::TEXT,
        'Admin should see more data than regular users'::TEXT,
        format('Admin sees %s, User sees %s', admin_count, user_count),
        CASE WHEN admin_count > user_count THEN 'SECURE' ELSE 'BREACH' END;
    
    -- Test 3: Verify department isolation
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '101', true); -- Eng Manager
    SELECT count(*) INTO user_count 
    FROM users u 
    JOIN departments d ON u.department_id = d.id 
    WHERE d.code = 'SALES';
    
    RETURN QUERY SELECT 
        'Department Isolation'::TEXT,
        'Eng Manager should not see Sales employees'::TEXT,
        format('Sees %s Sales employees', user_count),
        CASE WHEN user_count = 0 THEN 'SECURE' ELSE 'BREACH' END;
    
    -- Test 4: Verify contractor limitations
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '104', true); -- Contractor
    SELECT count(*) INTO user_count 
    FROM documents 
    WHERE security_level IN ('confidential', 'restricted');

    -- Test 5: Verify project access isolation
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '102', true); -- Carol
    SELECT count(*) INTO user_count 
    FROM projects 
    WHERE id NOT IN (
        SELECT project_id FROM project_members WHERE user_id = 102
    );
    
    RETURN QUERY SELECT

        format('Sees %s unassigned projects', user_count),
        CASE WHEN user_count = 0 THEN 'SECURE' ELSE 'REVIEW' END;
    
    -- Test 6: Verify expense privacy
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '102', true); -- Carol
    SELECT count(*) INTO user_count

    WHERE submitted_by != 102 
    AND department_id != 1; -- Not her department
    
    RETURN QUERY SELECT

    -- Reset context
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '', true);
END;
$;

-- Run security validation tests
SELECT 'Security Isolation Validation:' as test_section;
SELECT * FROM validate_security_isolation();
```

### Step 9: Data Integrity Verification

Let's make sure our RBAC system maintains data integrity:

```sql
-- Verify data integrity and consistency
SELECT 'Data Integrity Verification:' as test_section;

-- Check 1: All users in RBAC have corresponding application records
SELECT 'Users in RBAC vs Application:' as integrity_check;
SELECT 
    (SELECT count(*) FROM public.c77_rbac_subjects) as rbac_subjects,
    (SELECT count(*) FROM users WHERE id::text IN (
        SELECT external_id FROM public.c77_rbac_subjects
    )) as app_users_with_rbac,
    CASE 
        WHEN (SELECT count(*) FROM public.c77_rbac_subjects) = 
             (SELECT count(*) FROM users WHERE id::text IN (
                 SELECT external_id FROM public.c77_rbac_subjects
             )) 
        THEN 'CONSISTENT' 
        ELSE 'INCONSISTENT' 
    END as status;

-- Check 2: All role assignments have valid subjects and roles
SELECT 'Role Assignment Integrity:' as integrity_check;
SELECT 
    (SELECT count(*) FROM public.c77_rbac_subject_roles) as total_assignments,
    (SELECT count(*) FROM public.c77_rbac_subject_roles sr
     JOIN public.c77_rbac_subjects s ON sr.subject_id = s.subject_id
     JOIN public.c77_rbac_roles r ON sr.role_id = r.role_id) as valid_assignments,
    CASE 
        WHEN (SELECT count(*) FROM public.c77_rbac_subject_roles) = 
             (SELECT count(*) FROM public.c77_rbac_subject_roles sr
              JOIN public.c77_rbac_subjects s ON sr.subject_id = s.subject_id
              JOIN public.c77_rbac_roles r ON sr.role_id = r.role_id)
        THEN 'CONSISTENT'
        ELSE 'INCONSISTENT'
    END as status;

-- Check 3: All feature grants have valid roles and features
SELECT 'Feature Grant Integrity:' as integrity_check;
SELECT 
    (SELECT count(*) FROM public.c77_rbac_role_features) as total_grants,
    (SELECT count(*) FROM public.c77_rbac_role_features rf

              JOIN public.c77_rbac_roles r ON rf.role_id = r.role_id
              JOIN public.c77_rbac_features f ON rf.feature_id = f.feature_id)
        THEN 'CONSISTENT'
        ELSE 'INCONSISTENT'
    END as status;

-- Check 4: RLS policies are active on critical tables
SELECT 'RLS Policy Status:' as integrity_check;
SELECT 
    tablename,
    rowsecurity as rls_enabled,
    (SELECT count(*) FROM pg_policies p WHERE p.tablename = t.tablename AND p.policyname = 'c77_rbac_policy') as rbac_policies
FROM pg_tables t
WHERE tablename IN ('users', 'documents', 'expenses', 'projects', 'project_members')
AND schemaname = 'public'
ORDER BY tablename;
```

### Step 10: Generate Comprehensive Test Report

Let's create a final comprehensive test report:

```sql
-- Generate final test report
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION generate_security_test_report()
RETURNS TEXT LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $
DECLARE
    report TEXT := '';

**✅ Checkpoint 5:** You've completed comprehensive security testing and validation!

---

## Test Results Summary

Based on our comprehensive testing, here's what we've verified:

### ✅ **Access Control Validation**
- **System Admin**: Full access to all data across all departments
- **Department Managers**: Access to their department + management functions
- **Regular Employees**: Limited access to own data + departmental resources
- **Contractors**: Minimal access, project-specific only
- **Specialized Roles**: HR sees all employees, Finance sees all expenses

### ✅ **Security Isolation Confirmed**
- **Department Isolation**: Engineering manager cannot see Sales data
- **Document Security**: 4-level security (public/internal/confidential/restricted) working correctly
- **Project Access**: Team members see only assigned projects
- **Expense Privacy**: Users see only own expenses unless authorized
- **No Context Protection**: No data visible without proper user context

### ✅ **Business Rules Enforced**
- **Manager Approvals**: Department managers can approve their department's expenses
- **HR Global Access**: HR can view employees across all departments
- **Finance Oversight**: Finance staff can review all company expenses
- **Contractor Restrictions**: Limited to assigned projects and public documents
- **Author Override**: Document authors can always access their own documents

### ✅ **Data Integrity Maintained**
- **Consistent RBAC mappings** between application and security tables
- **Valid role assignments** with proper foreign key relationships
- **Active RLS policies** on all critical tables
- **Performance optimized** with appropriate indexes

### ✅ **Edge Cases Handled**
- **Invalid user contexts** properly rejected
- **Users without roles** have no access
- **Empty/NULL contexts** block all access
- **Complex queries** maintain security filtering

    public.c77_rbac_can_access('view_project_details', '102', 'project', '3') as result;
```

### Step 4: Test Complex Business Rules

Let's verify our sophisticated document access rules work correctly:

```sql
-- Test document access by security level for different users
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_document_security_matrix()
RETURNS TABLE(
    user_name TEXT,
    user_role TEXT,
    public_docs INTEGER,
    internal_docs INTEGER,
    confidential_docs INTEGER,
    restricted_docs INTEGER,
    total_docs INTEGER
) LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $$
DECLARE
    test_users RECORD;
BEGIN
    FOR test_users IN 
        SELECT 
            u.id::text as user_id,
            u.first_name || ' ' || u.last_name as name,
            CASE 
                WHEN u.id = 1 THEN 'System Admin'
                WHEN u.id = 101 THEN 'Eng Manager'
                WHEN u.id = 102 THEN 'Developer'
                WHEN u.id = 104 THEN 'Contractor'
                WHEN u.id = 301 THEN 'HR Manager'
                WHEN u.id = 401 THEN 'Finance Manager'
            END as role
        FROM users u
        WHERE u.id IN (1, 101, 102, 104, 301, 401)
    LOOP
        -- Set user context
        PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', test_users.user_id, true);
        
        -- Count documents by security level
        RETURN QUERY
        SELECT 
            test_users.name,
            test_users.role,
            (SELECT count(*)::integer FROM documents WHERE security_level = 'public'),
            (SELECT count(*)::integer FROM documents WHERE security_level = 'internal'),
            (SELECT count(*)::integer FROM documents WHERE security_level = 'confidential'),
            (SELECT count(*)::integer FROM documents WHERE security_level = 'restricted'),
            (SELECT count(*)::integer FROM documents);
    END LOOP;
    
    -- Reset context
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '', true);
END;
$$;

-- Run the document security matrix test
SELECT 'Document Security Matrix Test:' as test_section;
SELECT * FROM test_document_security_matrix() ORDER BY user_name;
```

### Step 5: Test Edge Cases and Error Conditions

Let's test various edge cases to ensure our system is robust:

```sql
-- Test edge cases
SELECT 'Edge Case Testing:' as test_section;

-- Test 1: Invalid user ID
SELECT 'Test with invalid user ID:' as test;
SELECT public.c77_rbac_can_access('view_posts', 'nonexistent_user', 'global', 'all') as result;

-- Test 2: NULL user context
SET "c77_rbac.external_id" TO '';
SELECT 'Test with empty user context:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as visible_rows FROM users;

SET "c77_rbac.external_id" TO NULL;
SELECT 'Test with NULL user context:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as visible_rows FROM users;

-- Test 3: User without any roles
INSERT INTO users (id, email, first_name, last_name, department_id, employee_type)
VALUES (9999, 'noroles@test.com', 'No', 'Roles', 1, 'employee');

SET "c77_rbac.external_id" TO '9999';
SELECT 'Test user with no RBAC roles:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as visible_users FROM users;
SELECT count(*) as visible_documents FROM documents;

-- Clean up test user
DELETE FROM users WHERE id = 9999;

-- Test 4: Verify RLS is actually active (not just returning all data)
RESET "c77_rbac.external_id";
SELECT 'Verify RLS is active - should see no data without context:' as test;
SELECT count(*) as users_without_context FROM users;
SELECT count(*) as docs_without_context FROM documents;
SELECT count(*) as expenses_without_context FROM expenses;
```

### Step 6: Performance and Scale Testing

Let's test how our system performs with the larger dataset:

```sql
-- Performance testing with timing
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_performance_scenarios()
RETURNS TABLE(
    scenario TEXT,
    user_context TEXT,
    operation TEXT,
    execution_time TEXT,
    rows_affected INTEGER
) LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $$

    start_time TIMESTAMP;
    end_time TIMESTAMP;
    row_count INTEGER;

    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '1', true);
    start_time := clock_timestamp();
    SELECT count(*) INTO row_count FROM users;
    end_time := clock_timestamp();
    
    RETURN QUERY SELECT 
        'Large Dataset Query'::TEXT,
        'System Admin'::TEXT,

        (end_time - start_time)::TEXT,
        row_count;
    
    -- Test 2: Manager querying department (should be reasonably fast)
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '101', true);
    start_time := clock_timestamp();
    SELECT count(*) INTO row_count FROM users;
    end_time := clock_timestamp();
    
    RETURN QUERY SELECT 
        'Department Query'::TEXT,

        (end_time - start_time)::TEXT,
        row_count;
    
    -- Test 3: Complex join query
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '102', true);
    start_time := clock_timestamp();
    SELECT count(*) INTO row_count 
    FROM users u 
    JOIN departments d ON u.department_id = d.id 
    JOIN expenses e ON u.id = e.submitted_by;
    end_time := clock_timestamp();
    
    RETURN QUERY SELECT 
        'Complex Join'::TEXT,
        'Regular Employee'::TEXT,
        'Users+Departments+Expenses JOIN'::TEXT,
        (end_time - start_time)::TEXT,
        row_count;
    
    -- Test 4: Document security filtering
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '104', true);
    start_time := clock_timestamp();
    SELECT count(*) INTO row_count FROM documents;
    end_time := clock_timestamp();
    
    RETURN QUERY SELECT 
        'Security Filtering'::TEXT,
        'Contractor'::TEXT,
        'Document security check'::TEXT,
        (end_time - start_time)::TEXT,
        row_count;
    
    -- Reset context
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', '', true);
END;
$$;
