White-Box Testing

Software testing is the process of validating and verifying that a computer program meets requirements, works as expected, and satisfies stakeholders' needs. There are different testing methods, including white-box testing which tests internal structures using programming skills, black-box testing which examines functionality without knowledge of internal implementation, and grey-box testing which involves some knowledge of internal structures. Testing is done at various levels from unit to integration to system testing, and finally acceptance testing is performed by the end user.

Testing

Software testing can be stated as the process of validating and verifying that a computer
program/application/product:

 meets the requirements that guided its design and development,


 works as expected,
 can be implemented with the same characteristics,
 and satisfies the needs of stakeholders.(client)

Testing Methods
 The box approach:
Software testing methods are traditionally divided into white- and black-box
testing. These two approaches are used to describe the point of view that a test
engineer takes when designing test cases.
 White-Box testing:
White-box testing (also known as clear box testing, glass box testing, transparent box
testing and structural testing) tests internal structures or workings of a program. In white-box
testing an internal perspective(view) of the system, as well as programming skills, are used to
design test cases. 
While white-box testing can be applied at the unit, integration and system levels of the
software testing process, it is usually done at the unit level.
 Black-box testing:
Black-box testing treats the software as a "black box", examining functionality without
any knowledge of internal implementation. The tester is only aware of what the software is
supposed to do, not how it does it.

 Grey-box testing:
Grey-box testing involves having knowledge of internal data structures and algorithms
for purposes of designing tests, while executing those tests at the user, or black-box level. The
tester is not required to have full access to the software's source code.
Testing Levels

 Unit testing:
Unit testing, also known as component testing, it verify the functionality of a specific
section of code, usually at the function level. In an object-oriented environment, this is usually
at the class level, and the minimal unit tests include the constructors and destructors.

 Integration testing:
Integration testing works to expose defects in the interfaces and interaction between
integrated components (modules).

 System testing:
System testing, or end-to-end testing, tests a completely integrated system to verify
that it meets its requirements.

 Acceptance testing:
At last the system is delivered to the user for Acceptance testing.
