What is the difference between White Box testing and Unit Testing?..

Answer / swathi

In white box testing the tester should/will know the inner
workings of the code.And this will be done by the
tester.This can also be called as glass box,structured,clear
box,open box testing.

Unit testing is the basic testing done by the developer to
see whether the code is working fine.Each module will be
tested by the developer before sending it to the testing team.

Answer / pravek dadhwal

White box testing is something in which the tester must
have a basic knowledge of a language which is being
used.Unlike Blackbox,this is someting which is also called
as Glass box, where you have an access to the source code.

Unit Testing: A type of WBT,generally done by
developer.Basically its done at module level to catch and
fix the most obvoius bugs, so that they should not make to
the Integration level.As compare to Integration testing
fixing issue, found during this level of testing becomes
very easy,as developer knows that in which module issue
exists.

White box testing is a verification technique software engg
can use to examine if their code works as expected.

White box testing method is used to do Unit testing
Unit testing is done to ensure whether a particular module
in a system is working properly..
s many as 65% of the bugs can be detected during Unit
testing...usually done by developers since it requires
internal knowledge of working of the code..

Test Stubs are frequently used in unit testing..

What is the difference between White Box testing and Unit Testing?..

Answer / akshaya

Whitebox testing is testing of the system as a whole. This
is part of system testing, concentrating on the flow of
data, controls, conditional statements, loops etc on the
integrated system. Performed by tester.

Unit Testing: Code, data flow testing of a module. Dummy
modules are mostly used to test the module in question.
This is performed by the developer him/herself.

What is the difference between White Box testing and Unit Testing?..

Answer / lokesh karanam

generally whitebox testing and unit testing are same. in
other side in balckbox testing, functional testing is also
called as unit testing.

defination of unit testing generally:testing the
functionality/output of a perticular unit or block.

In white box testing: developer will check for the each and
every line of code for the exact output.so checking each
and every line like a unit, so called unit testing.

In black box testing: testing team will check for
functionality of an each field or each option/parameter.
each parameter/field is like a block/unit. so we can call
it as unit testing.

finally, there is no industrial standard defination for
these.but the principles are same in both whitebox and
black box testing.

please correct me if i am wroung.......
