ITPEC FE Morning October 2021 — Question 48 of 80

Black Box Testing — test data is based on external specifications, not code structure.

  • Black box testing treats the program as an opaque box — testers only know inputs and expected outputs from the specification
  • Test data is created based on external specifications (requirements, functional specs)

Why not others:
- (a) branch coverage — white box technique (requires knowledge of code branches)

- (b) condition coverage — white box technique (requires knowledge of Boolean conditions in code)

- (d) program structures — white box approach (test design follows internal code structure)

Key rule: Black box = specification-based; White box = code/structure-based.
