White Box Testing
White box testing is a software testing technique that is used to evaluate the internal logic, structure, and design of an application’s code. The purpose of white box testing is to ensure that the application’s code is functioning correctly and efficiently according to the design and requirements.
White box testing typically involves testing the following aspects of an application’s code:
- Code coverage: This involves testing the degree to which the application’s code has been executed during testing. Code coverage tests ensure that all code paths have been tested and that there are no unreachable code blocks.
- Control flow: This involves testing the flow of the application’s code, such as loops, conditions, and branches. Control flow tests ensure that the code is executing according to the intended logic.
- Data flow: This involves testing the flow of data within the application’s code, such as input, output, and storage. Data flow tests ensure that the data is processed correctly and efficiently.
White box testing can be performed using different tools and frameworks, such as JUnit, NUnit, and Selenium. The choice of tool depends on the application’s programming language, complexity, and available resources.
The results of white box testing are used to ensure that the application’s code is functioning correctly and efficiently according to the design and requirements. If any issues are identified during white box testing, they are investigated and resolved before the application is released. White box testing is an important part of the software testing process, as it helps to ensure that the application’s code is of high quality and meets the expectations of its users.
