Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the difference between white box and black box testing?
A
Black box testing is a software testing method in which the internal structure/ design/ implementation of the item being tested is not known to the tester.
B
White box testing is a software testing method in which the internal structure/ design/ implementation of the item being tested is not known to the tester as well.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Black Box Test only considers the system’s external behavior, while White Box Test considers its internal functioning. Implementation knowledge is not required when applying Black Box Testing, unlike White Box Test. It takes less time to perform a Black Box Testing than a White Box Testing.

Detailed explanation-2: -White box testing tells you more about the flow and interactions of the modules, and unit testing gives you granular information on each element. They often operate in conjunction, but there is a significant yet subtle difference in what you will uncover with each approach.

Detailed explanation-3: -While black-box testers make sure everything is fine with interfaces and functionality, and white-box testers dig into the internal structure and fix the source code of the software, grey-box testing deals with both at the same time in a non-intrusive manner.
