Advantages of Black Box Testing More effective on larger units of code than glass box testing Tester needs no knowledge of implementation, including specific programming language Tester and programmer are independent of each other tests …

Testing Strategies/ Techniques black box testing should make use of randomly generated inputs (only a test range should be specified by the tester), to eliminate any guess work by the tester as to the methods …

Functional Testing In this type of testing, the software is tested for the functional requirements. The tests are written in order to check if the application behaves as expected. Although functional testing is often done toward …
