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:
-- 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;
-- 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';
-- 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;
-- 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:
-- 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;
-- 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:
-- Reset context for direct function testing
RESET "c77_rbac.external_id";
Step 7: Integration Testing Scenarios
Let's test realistic application scenarios:
-- Create comprehensive integration test scenarios
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_real_world_scenarios()

-- 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:

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:
-- 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:
-- 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 $$
DECLARE
start_time TIMESTAMP;
end_time TIMESTAMP;
row_count INTEGER;
BEGIN
-- Test 1: Admin querying all users (should be fast)
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,
'SELECT all users'::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,
'Department Manager'::TEXT,
'SELECT department users'::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;
