  • What is Black Box Testing? | Techniques

      • Black Box Testing is testing technique having no knowledge of the internal functionality/structure of the system
      • It is also called Behavioural, Functional, Opaque-Box, Closed-Box etc
      • focuses on testing the function of the program or application against its specifications
      • Determines whether combinations of inputs and operations produce expected results
    Black box testing techniques

    Black box Testing Techniques

          • Equivalence partitioning.
          • Boundary Value Analysis
          • Decision table testing
          • State Transition Testing
          • Error Guessing

    Advantages of Black-Box Testing

          • More effective on larger units of code than glass box testing
          • Tester needs no knowledge of implementation, including specific programming languages
          • Tester and programmer are independent of each other

    Below is the overview of each black black box technique.

    1) Equivalence partitioning

        • It is also known as Equivalence Class Partitioning (ECP)
        • It is a specification-based or black-box technique
        • The input data is divided into different equivalence data classes – which are generally termed as ‘Valid’ and ‘Invalid’.
        • Test only one condition from each partition or equivalence.
        • It reduces the number of test cases to a finite list of testable test cases covering maximum possibilities

    2) Boundary Value analysis

        • Boundary value analysis is a selection of test cases that takes boundary values as inputs. It is based on the assumption that errors are usually found on boundaries.
        • It can be applied at all levels/phases of testing
        • Boundaries are good place to look for defects
        • Boundary Value Analysis is the next part of Equivalence Partitioning for designing test cases where test cases are selected at the edges of the equivalence classes.

    3) Decision table testing

        • A black-box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute the combinations of inputs and their corresponding behaviour shown in a decision table.
        • It is referred to as a ’cause-effect’ table
        • Each column can then be considered as a test case of a business rule
        • Decision Table Testing is good for testing business rules or combinations
        • Contains conditions (Input) and actions (Outputs)

    4) State Transition Testing

        • A black box testing technique
        • State-transition diagrams are very useful for describing the behaviour of a system and are part of the Software Design Document.
        • Tests are designed to execute valid and invalid state transitions
        • State-Transition diagrams are an excellent tool to capture certain types of system requirements and to document internal system design.
        • This technique is used when features of a system are represented as states, which transform to another state.
