10 ITS Product Testing
Testing consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.
10.1 Assessment of Developer Tests
The evaluators verified that the developer has met their testing responsibilities by examining
their test evidence, and reviewing their test results, as documented in the ETR1
.
The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage analysis and found it to be complete
and accurate. The correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s test
documentation and the functional specification was complete.
10.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. Resulting from this test coverage approach is the
following list of test goals:
a. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests;
b. Policy Creation and Audit: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that an
Administrator can create event, notification and response rules and that these actions are
auditable;
c. Power User and Administrator Roles: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that the
Power User role can log into the web GUI and view audit records and that the
Administrator can log into the web GUI and create a new user;
d. Authentication failover: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that the TOE
supports local authentication failover, allowing TOE operators to access the TOE when
there is a problem with the external authentication server;
e. Access Control: The objective of this test goal is to verify that the TOE enforces access
control permissions for administrative users of the TOE;
f. Audit review through CLI, Java API: The objective of this test goal is to verify that
administrators with appropriate permissions can review audit records via through the CLI
and the Java API;
g. Certificate based user authentication: The objective of this test goal is to verify that the
TOE supports certificate based user authentication; and

h. Receiving Interface Testing: The objective of this test goal is to verify that the TOE can
discover a network device and receive configuration information concerning that device.
10.3 Independent Penetration Testing
Subsequent to the independent review of public domain vulnerability databases and all
evaluation deliverables, limited independent evaluator penetration testing was conducted.
The penetration tests focused on:
a. Use of automated vulnerability scanning tools to discover potential network, platform and
application layer vulnerabilities;
b. Cookie Strength: The objective of this test is to determine whether the TOE is susceptible
to weak session IDs;
c. Session Fixation: The objective of this test is to determine whether an attacker can hijack
a valid user session;
d. Weak Algorithms in SSL/TLS: The objective of this test is to determine whether the TOE
accepts weak algorithms for SSL/TLS; and
e. Weak Algorithms in SSH: The objective of this test is to determine whether the TOE
accepts weak algorithms for SSH.
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
intended operating environment.
10.4 Conduct of Testing
HP Network Automation 10.10 was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally
documented, independent functional and penetration tests. The detailed testing activities,
including configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and observed results are
documented in a separate Test Results document.
10.5 Testing Results
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests yielded the expected results,
providing assurance that HP Network Automation 10.10 behaves as specified in its ST and
functional specification.
11 Results of the Evaluation
