White box testing, also known as glass box testing or structural testing, is a software testing method that examines the internal logic, structure, and code of an application. Unlike black box testing, which focuses on functionality without considering how the system works, white box testing ensures code optimization, security, and accuracy. Key Aspects of White Box Testing Code Coverage: Ensures all parts of the code are tested. Path Testing: Examines all possible execution paths to verify correct behavior. Loop Testing: Checks the efficiency and correctness of loops in the code. Security Testing: Identifies vulnerabilities within the codebase. White Box Testing Techniques To perform white box testing effectively, various techniques are used: Statement Coverage: Ensures every statement in the code is executed at least once. Branch Testing: Tests all possible branches of conditional statements (e.g., if-else conditions). Path ...
