Here's my thoughts

- swipe with registered finger (should succeed)
- swipe with non-registered finger (should fail)
- swipe with fake human finger (those have been seen from movies,lol)

Also check that,
A user registers fingerprint in 2012, then continues swiping after, say 1 year, 5 years. Does it recognize fingerprints on aging.

Testing the age of sensor, what happens after 10 years when laser becomes weak, will the user be able to login.

User updates his fingerprint to a different finger. While swiping in it should only recognize the latest fingerprint

Disable fingerprint login, would the user be able to still login with fingerprint.
