Testing techniques

Here we look at different ways to approach our tests. Should we know the code? Should we test user inputs and compare them against the system results? How to identify a proper value sample? Let’s start with white-box testing.

White-box testing

White-box testing is a software testing technique that uses knowledge of the internal structure of the software to design tests. We can use white-box testing to find defects in the software’s logic, data structures, and algorithms. 

This type of testing is also known as clear-box testing, open-box testing, transparent-box testing, glass-box testing, and code-based testing.

Another benefit of white-box testing is that it can help optimize the code. By reviewing the code to write tests, developers can identify and improve inefficient code structures, improving overall software performance. The developer can also improve the application design by finding architectural issues while testing the code.
