End-to-end testing Identity Management (SCIM) with Idaptive
Schedule a DemoSystem for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) is a system designed to make managing a single user identify across multiple cloud-based devices easier. SCIM is an essential element of managing multiple applications in a secure way, and is often a hard requirement in large enterprise software contracts.
SCIM with Idaptive can be a pain to test end-to-end for a variety of reasons:
- Testing SCIM end-to-end with Idaptive introduces a dependency on both Idaptive's authentication experience, as well as the UI for provisioning or de-provisioning users using Idaptive. If the service updates the authentication or provisioning UI, you may need to update your tests.
- Testing Idaptive SCIM involves managing multiple users and multiple sets of credentials (one for the Idaptive admin and one for the test user), which can be a pain to maintain.
- Testing SCIM end-to-end has many edge-cases to consider. You need to verify that granting access to a third-party app provisions that user, but also that removing access to the third-party app de-provisions that same user.
What's the easiest way to test SCIM with Idaptive?
walrus.ai enables engineers to test SCIM using Idaptive without any of the pain:
- When Idaptive's UI changes, walrus.ai handles any updates needed on their end, so you never need to refactor your tests based on any third-party dependency outside of your control.
- Writing the full end-to-end test takes minutes, because it's just written in plain English.
- walrus.ai can handle multiple user identities out-of-the-box. Simply add the credentials as variables, and walrus.ai can call those credentials.
- walrus.ai can handle multiple sets of cookies, so you never have to worry about storing different sets of cookies for different users in your test case.
- walrus.ai can handle any test setup or teardown within the test itself, simply add those steps to the test instructions.
