White Box Testing & Black Box Testing
Definitions , Techniques etc
This article will present you with a complete idea about White Box testing and Black Box Testing
We will learn below topics in this article
White Box Testing
-
-
- White box testing is testing where we use the info available from the code of the component to generate tests.
- Testing the software in which the tester has knowledge about the internal structure or the code or the program of the software.
- It is mostly done by software developers.
- Knowledge of implementation and internal structure is required.
- Debugging will always be white-box testing
-

Types of White Box Testing:
-
-
- Statement Coverage
- Decision Coverage
- Branch Coverage
- Condition Coverage
- Path Coverage
- Control flow testing
-
Advantages of White Box Testing
-
-
- Testing is more thorough as all code paths are usually covered.
- White box tests cases can be easily automated.
- It can start at an earlier stage of SDLC as it doesn’t require any interface as in case of black box testing.
- It results in the optimisation of code removing error and helps in removing extra lines of code.
-
Black box testing
- Black Box Testing is testing technique having no knowledge of the internal functionality/structure of the system
- Black box testing is also called Behavioral, 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
-
-
- Equivalence portioning.
- Boundary Value Analysis
- 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
-
