  Software testing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Software testing may be viewed as a sub-field of software quality assurance but typically exists independently (and there may be no SQA areas in some companies).
So a tester might be continuing to work in white box testing while the software is "in beta" (a stage) but he or she would then not be part of "the beta test" (group/activity).
Software development strategies such as test-driven development are highly compatible with the idea of devoting a large part of an organization's testing resources to automated testing.

 White box testing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
White box testing, clear box testing, glass box testing or structural testing is used in computer programming, software engineering and software testing to check that the outputs of a program, given certain inputs, conform to the structural specification of the program.
The term white box (or glass box) indicates that testing is done with a knowledge of the code used to execute certain functionality.
A complementary technique, fl box testing or functional testing, performs testing based on previously understood requirements (or understood functionality), without knowledge of how the code executes.

 Black box testing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Black box testing, concrete box or functional testing is used in computer programming, software engineering and software testing to check that the outputs of a program, given certain inputs, conform to the functional specification of the program.
Boundary value Analysis is a technique of fl box testing in which input values at the boundaries of the input domain are tested.
Black box testing is not considered to be the task of coders or programmers: they are dealt by people who have a generic view of the system specifications while being more objective on the tests and the test results.

Software testing is perhaps the most important phase of Software Engineering, and because of personal prejudices, it is best left to the third party.
White Box Testing, also called Glass Box Testing, is a test case design method that uses the control structure of the procedural design to design test cases.
Using White box testing methods, the software engineer can derive test cases that gurantee that all independent paths within a module have been exercised at least once, and exercises internal data to ensure their validity.

 itmWEB: Testing of Object-Oriented Software
Specifically, it dictates that test cases for a piece of software are to be generated based solely on an examination of the specification (external description) for that piece of software.
A typical goal of gray-box testing is to identify singularities in a piece of software, i.e., situations in which the behavior of a piece of software become unbounded.
In a classic waterfall approach to software development, subprogram units are usually well-defined by the end of the design phase, and some may have been introduced as early as the analysis phase.

In order to prove that a piece of software works, the software must be tested to determine if the requirements of the application are met.
White box test cases are used to test specific paths through the code.
Black box tests treat the program like a fl box; what happens in the program is invisible and unimportant to the user.

 Software Engineering Tools: Compatibility and Integration
In the bottom-up white box approach to integration, modules of existing (or proposed) tools are generalized and made into robust reusable components.
Using models in software development poses interesting challenges for the tool developers: tools are needed (1) for modeling on varying levels of abstraction, (2) for transforming models between modeling paradigms (and code), and (3) for analyzing and verifying properties of models (to ensure we build the right system correctly).
It is also aimed for enabling system engineers to confidently produce certifiable RT computing systems for safety-critical applications, i.e., the systems possessing the reliability which will be demanded by the general public in the 21st century.

 Dr. Dobb's | White-Box Testing | July 22, 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Traditionally, there are two main approaches to testing software: fl-box (or functional) testing and white-box (or structural) testing.
In fl-box testing, software is exercised over a full range of inputs and the outputs are observed for correctness.
If each tester changes the loaded software on the simulator configuration, then each test takes much longer to set up and each testing scenario is much more error prone.

 Software Testing
It is unfortunate that many software life-cycle models include a separate testing phase, designated as the activity after implementation and before maintenance.
The software is delivered to the client, who tests the software on the actual hardware, using actual data instead of test data.
