Strategies for testing Authentication and Authorization Flows

Developers constantly run into barriers when implementing end-to-end tests against authentication providers, to the point of deleting their tests out of frustration and lack of solutions from providers. This talk will be a practical guide to testing real-world authentication and authorization scenarios leveraging end-to-end JavaScript testing tools like Cypress. In addition, Kevin will discuss the testing techniques necessary to effectively place web applications into states for testing after authentication and available solutions from providers to overcome these testing challenges.
