Posted By: sapna Subject: Is the White Box Testing purely white ? Date Posted: 23Apr2007 at 11:29pm We might be aware of the Definitions for Black Box and White Box kind of Testing. Testing the application without knowing the code is Black Box and looking at the code and Testing the same often called as white box since we have the access to code. We are under the impression that, Unit Testing is also white box testing since we test the code. I would like to differ on the term White Box since we have access to the code. There are many black boxes inside the code that we test 1. Most of the Code has been built on top of a set of APIs. Do we have access to that code (Atleast it's true Java / .NET application) ? 2. Most of the applications do use thirdparty vendors Apps and integrate the same with public API available. We don't have access to the same again. The so called White Box is not really white and it's more of a Code Based Testing.
