Advantages:-
• Provides a balanced approach by covering both functional aspects and
internal logic.
• Helps in identifying defects that might be missed by either black box or white
box testing alone.
• Allows testers to focus on security vulnerabilities with an understanding of
the system’s architecture.
• Facilitates the testing of interactions between components or systems with a
partial understanding of how they work together.
• Suitable for systems with complex interactions or multiple integrated
components.
Disadvantages:-
• Involves only partial knowledge of the system’s internals, which might limit
the depth of testing.
• May not uncover all internal issues or provide complete coverage of all code
paths, especially if the internal knowledge is insufficient.
• Designing test cases that combine both functional and internal aspects can be
complex and time-consuming.
White box testing:-
It is a form of application testing that provides the tester with complete
knowledge of the application being tested, including access to source code and
design documents.
2. Data Flow: Examines how data moves through variables and parameters.
Advantages:-
1) White box testing helps identify and fix code-level issues, improving
overall code quality.
2) Testing at the code level detects defects early, reducing downstream costs.
3) White box testing identifies areas for code optimization, improving
performance.
4) Testing internal code logic helps identify potential security vulnerabilities
5) White box testing reduces debugging time by identifying issues during
testing.
Disadvantages:-
1)White box testing requires in-depth knowledge of programming languages
and code.
2) Creating test cases for complex code can be time-consuming.
3) Testing complex algorithms and logic can be challenging.
TEST CASE:-
A test case is a set of inputs, expected results, and preconditions designed
to verify a specific functionality or behavior of a software application.
