Software Testing Notes

The document outlines two software testing methods: Black Box Testing, which focuses on inputs and outputs without examining internal code, and White Box Testing, which involves analyzing the internal structure of the software. Black Box Testing is user-centric, while White Box Testing requires knowledge of the code. Both methods have synonyms that highlight their respective focuses on behavior and structure.

Software Testing Notes

Black Box Testing

Definition:

Black Box Testing is a software testing method where the tester does not look at the internal code. The tester

only checks the inputs and outputs to see if the software behaves correctly.

Synonyms:

1. Behavioral Testing - Focuses on what the system does.

2. Functional Testing - Checks specific functions or features.

3. Specification-Based Testing - Based on the software's requirements/specs.

Key Point:

Black Box Testing = Testing from the user's point of view (No need to know how the code works inside).

Example:

If you're testing a login page, you check:

- What happens when correct or wrong username/password is entered,

- But you don't see or touch the code behind it.

White Box Testing

Definition:

White Box Testing is a software testing method where the tester looks at the internal structure or code of the

software. It is also called clear box or structural testing.

Synonyms:

1. Structural Testing - Based on the code structure.

2. Glass Box Testing - The code is visible like glass.

3. Clear Box Testing - Because everything inside is clear to the tester.

Key Point:

White Box Testing = Testing from the developer's point of view (Requires knowledge of the code).
Example:

You check if every line of code and condition works properly by writing test cases directly for functions or

loops.
