White Box

White Box testing is an approach where testers examine the internal workings of a software application or system. This method typically involves developers or technical testers who analyse code structure, logic and algorithms.

Key Characteristics:

  • Focuses on internal logic rather than external functionality.
  • Requires knowledge of programming languages and code structure.
  • Identifies hidden errors within the codebase.
  • Supports optimisation by analysing performance bottlenecks.

White box testing is essential for ensuring code quality and reliability throughout the development lifecycle.
