I think this is one of those tests where you have to know the design in order to test that it works. There is no way for the tester to know the session has timed out because that event happens on the server.

PM Hi Tim, I imagine that for this particular technique the user does not know that the session has timed out until they attempt to submit something after the time out. Warning a user that a timeout is about to occur is another technique. Perhaps we can reference it from this one - would that address your concern?

Would the user always be able to tell unambiguously whether or not they are in the "authenticated" or "non-authenticated" state with respect to a session?
