Answer: C
Blackbox testing observes a system's external behavior,
while whitebox testing is a detailed exam of a logical path,
checking the possible conditions. The IS auditor need not be
involved in either testing method. The bottom-up approach
can be used in both tests. Whitebox testing requires
knowledge of the internals of the program or the module to
be implemented/tested. Blackbox testing requires that the
functionality of the program be known. The independent
programmer team would not be aware of the application of a
program in which they have not been involved. Hence, the
independent programmer team cannot provide any assistance in
either of these testing approaches.
