Security/penetration testing is testing how well the system is protected against
unauthorized internal or external access, or willful damage. This type of
testing usually requires sophisticated testing techniques.

A penetration Testingis a detailed analysis(external audit) of the network and associated systems from the prespective of a potential hacker. A penetration test will test the network for thousands of known vulnerablities and provide a detailed report of any vulnerabilities that are found.The tests are conducted remotely over the Internet and do not require physical assess to your premises nor do they require access to any privileged information such as usernames or passwords They are based on an external testing 'Black box' approach- where by no prior assumptions about your systems are made.The following activites will be covered under the penteration Testing.* bugs, exploits, vulnerabilities and security holes* firewall and router weaknesses* Weaknesses in web-server scripts* exploitable trusts and shares between systems.

How would you use the website? That's basically it.e.g. to book a holiday what actions would take to you take to do so? That's a scenario.Say you made a mistake and wanted to go back back and change any details you had originally entered and carry on from there - that's a scenario as well.Scenarios depend totally on what kind of application is that you are testing.
