AI-Powered Test Automation for Government Grade Applications

Most defense system software applications contain sensitive data, making it critical to manage, process, and protect that data from unauthorized access. TestWheel’s AI-powered test automation platform is purpose-built to support government-grade applications, ensuring the safety, security, and performance of mission-critical systems. By leveraging advanced testing methodologies, our platform enhances software quality while safeguarding sensitive information empowering defense IT leaders to deliver reliable, secure applications. It streamlines the testing process, reducing time, manpower, and ultimately saving taxpayer dollars. The result is a cost-effective solution that maximizes value for public sector budgets.

Single Sign-On Testing Using ECA Certificates

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication method that allows users to securely log in the applications or services using one set of login credentials. In security-conscious environments such as defense, government, and security systems, Single Sign-On (SSO) is an important component of managing user access and identity. By leveraging the External Certification Authority (ECA) certificate, SSO provides certificate-based authentication that only grants access to authorized users to enter and access highly sensitive applications. TestWheel, an AI-powered test automation platform, was built and committed to secure such identity infrastructures through intelligent, scalable, and secure testing frameworks.

Why SSO Testing is Important for Government Grade Applications

Federal Identity

Government employees and contractors prioritize authenticate identification and rely on using centralized identity provider (IdP) including PIV/CAC card systems, ADFS, or cloud hosted services. Any defect in interoperability can break access to critical applications.

Zero Trust Requirements

The contemporary government security frameworks preferred zero trust principles, required constant authentication and authorizations. SSO testing ensures that a policy is being applied at each workflow stage.

Audit and Compliance

Automated SSO testing provides comprehensive logs of authentication events. Those logs can be reviewed by inspectors general and compliance officers.

TestWheel for SSO Testing with ECA

TestWheel provides a simplified automated test environment platform for SSO testing that validates the certificate-based authentication flows, identity federation, and access management in secure infrastructures.

Certificate-Based Authentication Testing: Validates the SSO login process using ECA certificates (smart cards, PKI tokens, etc.)
Multi-Environment Identity Verification: Tests user access multiple applications without having to re-authenticate
Security Compliance Testing: Validates compliance with federal security standards (such as NIST, DFARS, FISMA)
AI-Powered Automation: Leveraging machine learning technology to dynamically adapt test case changes or policy changes
Integration with DevOps Pipelines: Enables continuous testing of authentication and access control mechanisms
