Definitions of Gray box testing:
Gray box testing -
Tests involving inputs and outputs, but test design is educated by
information about the code or the program operation of a kind that
would normally be out of scope of view of the tester.
Gray box testing -
Test designed based on the knowledge of algorithm, internal states,
architectures, or other high -level descriptions of the program
behavior. [Doug Hoffman]
Gray box testing
- Examines the activity of back-end components during test case
execution. Two types of problems that can be encountered during
gray-box testing are:
# A component encounters a failure of some
kind, causing the operation to be aborted. The user interface will
typically indicate that an error has occurred.
# The test executes
in full, but the content of the results is incorrect. Somewhere in the
system, a component processed data incorrectly, causing the error in
the results.
