Auth, MFA, and SSO Journeys
Continuously verify login, permissions, MFA, and SSO experiences for every user role.
Challenge
Authentication flows are brittle and hard to validate across providers and user states. A broken login page locks out every user. A misconfigured SSO redirect silently fails for an entire customer organization. Permission bugs grant access to data users should not see. These issues are high-severity but difficult to test because they involve external identity providers, time-based tokens, and role-specific state that changes across environments.
Stably approach
Stably automates role-based sign-in journeys including MFA, passwordless, and SSO redirects with deterministic assertions. AI agents can navigate multi-step authentication flows — entering credentials, handling redirects, and verifying post-login state across different user roles. Conditional blocks handle environment-specific differences, and variables let you test across user types without duplicating test logic. Run these tests on every release to catch auth regressions before they become security incidents.
What changes
Admin, member, and viewer logins are all tested on every deploy
Variables store credentials for each role. The same test flow runs three times — once per role — and verifies that each user sees only what they should: the admin sees the billing page, the member sees projects, and the viewer cannot access settings.
SSO redirects are tested end-to-end, not just mocked
Stably's AI agent navigates the full SSO flow: click "Sign in with Okta," get redirected to the identity provider, enter credentials, handle the callback, and verify the user lands on the right dashboard. No mock stubs — the real redirect chain.
A broken login page is caught before it locks out 10,000 users
Auth tests run as a required CI check. If a dependency upgrade breaks the login form or an SSO configuration change fails silently, the deploy stops. Your on-call team finds out from a test failure, not from a flood of support tickets.
Conditional logic handles MFA gracefully across environments
Conditional blocks in Stably let tests branch: "If MFA prompt appears, enter the TOTP code from the test secret; otherwise, proceed to the dashboard." The same test works in staging (MFA disabled) and production (MFA required).
When this is the right fit
- Login issues are a recurring source of support tickets
- Role or permission bugs escape to production
- MFA and SSO updates are hard to test end-to-end
- Enterprise customers report access issues after upgrades
