Can someone please clear my doubts about it as we generally perform white box before the black box............. Replies: Posted By: annu_420 Date Posted: 28Apr2007 at 4:04am Given that white box testing is any testing that has visibility of the underlying code / system internals, and black box testing is testing from the users perspective without code visibility, there can be any number of black box and white box testing activities in the development life cycle. For example, the developer might use static code analysis, such as lint, prior to providing a release for functional testing (white box then black box), after (and during) functional testing, you might carry out code coverage analysis, to find untested code. (black box then white box). There are many more similar examples. IMO, white and black box testing are not specific test phases, merely attributes of certain testing techniques, that can occur throught the testing process.
