Hello friends,

What is White Box testing?

[Neo_5678]

White-box testing is a method of software testing that tests internal structures or workings of an application, as opposed to its functionality. In white-box testing, an internal perspective of the system, as well as programming skills, are used to design test cases.

Whitebox testing is actually really just a procedure of program testing that assesses internal workings or structures of a program, as compared to its own functionality.

White box testing is the software testing method in which internal structure is being known to tester who is going to test the software.

White-box testing requires internal knowledge of the system and programming skills.
It provides internal perspective of the software under test.

White Box Testing is defined as the testing of a software solution's internal structure, design, and coding. In this type of testing, the code is visible to the tester. It focuses primarily on verifying the flow of inputs and outputs through the application, improving design and usability, strengthening security. White box testing is also known as Clear Box testing, Open Box testing, Structural testing, Transparent Box testing, Code-Based testing, and Glass Box testing. It is usually performed by developers.

White box testing techniques analyze the internal structures the used data structures, internal design, code structure and the working of the software rather than just the functionality as in black box testing.

White box testing is a testing technique, that examines the program structure and derives test data from the program logic/code.

White box testing technique is used by both the developers as well as testers. It helps them to understand which line of code is actually executed and which is not. This may indicate that there is either a missing logic or a typo, which eventually can lead to some negative consequences.

WHITE BOX TESTING (also known as Clear Box Testing, Open Box Testing, Glass Box Testing, Transparent Box Testing, Code-Based Testing or Structural Testing) is a software testing method in which the internal structure/design/implementation of the item being tested is known to the tester.

[tanwirjain]

For testing software whitebox is used so that it won't affect the computer.

Advantages

Efficient in finding errors and problems
Required knowledge of internals of the software under test is beneficial for thorough testing
Allows finding hidden errors
