Session Timeout Calculator
Plan session timeout test windows and expected behavior for idle, active, and multi-tab sessions.
Session tests
Idle test: stop activity and verify timeout near 30 minutes.
Warning test: check whether the app warns before timeout around 25 minutes.
Active session test: continue activity and confirm whether the timer resets by design.
Multi-tab test: let one tab expire, then verify behavior in another tab and after refresh.
Why it exists
Timeout behavior is easy to misunderstand unless test windows are explicit.
When to use it
Use it before testing authentication, security, or session changes.
Who it is for
QA testers, authentication teams, and SaaS builders.
