Testing Panel Guide

The Mind Measure Testing Panel provides a comprehensive suite of automated testing tools for security, compliance, and backend validation. This system runs real-time tests against the production AWS infrastructure and provides detailed reporting on system health, security posture, and compliance status.

Overview

The testing infrastructure continuously monitors and validates:

  • Security Systems: MFA, encryption, audit logging
  • Compliance Standards: HIPAA, GDPR, SOC2 assessments
  • Backend Infrastructure: Aurora database, S3 storage, Cognito auth
  • Vulnerability Management: Real-time security scanning
  • Performance Metrics: System health and response times

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Database Connection Errors

# Check database connectivity
curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/database/health
 
# Verify environment variables
echo $VITE_DB_HOST
echo $VITE_DB_NAME

Authentication Failures

# Test Cognito connectivity
curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/auth/test
 
# Verify user pool configuration
echo $VITE_AWS_COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID

Audit Log Issues

Current known issue: Column name mismatch in audit_logs table

  • Expected: userId
  • Actual: userid
  • Fix: Update table schema or query parameters
