Two Main Approaches to Testing Software Application

In white-box testing, the source code of application is analyzed in an attempt to track down defective or vulnerable lines of code. This operation is often integrated into the development process by creating add-on tools for common deveploment environments.

In black-blox testing, the source code is not examined directly. Instead, special input test cases are generated and sent to the application. Then, the results returned by the application are analyzed for unexpected behavior that indicate errors or vulnerabilities.
