white box testing:testing done on the source code by
developer
it includes nany steps some as follow
1)path testing
2)condition testing
3)loop testing
4)memory testing
5)performance testing
1)path testing : write flowgraph and test indepentent path
2)condition testing:all conditions involved in the
application with all cycles(ex:if(cond < 10) { } else { })
3)loop tesing:check all loops available in the source code
(ex:while )
4)memory testing:1)reduce rewritten codes in multiple
programm
2)if developer not used in-built
functions then all in-built functions are refered and use
in source code and removes those written by developer for
in-built
3)unused variables , function , objects
those are defined but not used (for this developer will go
to automation tool known as "rational purify")
5)performance analysis:for this developer will go to
automation tool known as "rational quntify"
using instead of functions

Hi Karthi,
White box testing strategy deals with the internal logic
and structure of the code.
Types of testing under White/Glass Box Testing Strategy:
Unit Testing:
The developer carries out unit testing in order to check if
the particular module or unit of code is working fine. The
Unit Testing comes at the very basic level as it is carried
out as and when the unit of the code is developed or a
particular functionality is built.
Static and dynamic Analysis:
Static analysis involves going through the code in order to
find out any possible defect in the code. Dynamic analysis
involves executing the code and analyzing the output.
Statement Coverage:
In this type of testing the code is executed in such a
manner that every statement of the application is executed
at least once. It helps in assuring that all the statements
execute without any side effect.
Branch Coverage:
No software application can be written in a continuous mode
of coding, at some point we need to branch out the code in
order to perform a particular functionality. Branch
coverage testing helps in validating of all the branches in
the code and making sure that no branching leads to
abnormal behavior of the application.
Security Testing:
Security Testing is carried out in order to find out how
well the system can protect itself from unauthorized
access, hacking – cracking, any code damage etc. which
deals with the code of application. This type of testing
needs sophisticated testing techniques.
Mutation Testing:
A kind of testing in which, the application is tested for
the code that was modified after fixing a particular
bug/defect. It also helps in finding out which code and
which strategy of coding can help in developing the
functionality effectively.
Please correct me if i am wrong.

What is a White Box Testing Strategy?
White box testing strategy deals with the internal logic and structure of the code. White box testing is also called as glass, structural, open box or clear box testing. The tests written based on the white box testing strategy incorporate coverage of the code written, branches, paths, statements and internal logic of the code etc.
In order to implement white box testing, the tester has to deal with the code and hence is needed to possess knowledge of coding and logic i.e. internal working of the code. White box test also needs the tester to look into the code and find out which unit/statement/chunk of the code is malfunctioning.
Advantages of White box testing are:
i) As the knowledge of internal coding structure is prerequisite, it becomes very easy to find out which type of input/data can help in testing the application effectively.
ii) The other advantage of white box testing is that it helps in optimizing the code
iii) It helps in removing the extra lines of code, which can bring in hidden defects.
Disadvantages of white box testing are:
i) As knowledge of code and internal structure is a prerequisite, a skilled tester is needed to carry out this type of testing, which increases the cost.
ii) And it is nearly impossible to look into every bit of code to find out hidden errors, which may create problems, resulting in failure of the application.
Types of testing under White/Glass Box Testing Strategy:
Unit Testing:
The developer carries out unit testing in order to check if the particular module or unit of code is working fine. The Unit Testing comes at the very basic level as it is carried out as and when the unit of the code is developed or a particular functionality is built.

A kind of testing in which, the application is tested for the code that was modified after fixing a particular bug/defect. It also helps in finding out which code and which strategy of coding can help in developing the functionality effectively.
Besides all the testing types given above, there are some more types which fall under both Black box and White box testing strategies such as: Functional testing (which deals with the code in order to check its functional performance), Incremental integration testing (which deals with the testing of newly added code in the application), Performance and Load testing (which helps in finding out how the particular code manages resources and give performance etc.) etc.

Answer / ramprasad buchi
Q. Testing methods (or) testing techniques?
ANS:
Basically there are 3 types of testing
i. Block box testing ii.White box testing
iii. Gray box testing
Block box testing: if one performs testing only on the
functional part of an application without
having of the structured part then the method of testing is
known as block box testing.
Usually the block box testing engineers are
performing.
White box testing (or) glass box (or) clear box testing:
If one performs testing on structural part of an
application then that method of testing is
Known as white box testing. Usually developers are
white box testers will perform.
Gray box testing: if one perform testing on both the
functional part as well as the structural part of an
application than that method of testing is known as gray box
testing.
Usually the test engineer who has the structural knowledge
will perform gray box testing.
Levels of testing: there are 5 levels of testing
1. Unit level testing
2. Module level testing
3. Integration level testing
4. System level testing
5. User acceptances level testing
