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.

Scenario A year ago we developed a standards compliant website for a client. Their site is very popular resulting in the client wanting to be able to track how it is being used by their users. The first part of this project is to create a Login function so that users can be identified on the website. The data supplied by users would have to be handled securely. You have been allocated this project to work on. You will be responsible for the task from start to finish and will be expected to give feedback to your manager. User expectations  The client wants their users to be able to login using a page that fits in with the website design.  Tom wants to access the website but doesn’t want his login information to be available to anyone else.  Paul doesn’t want to login to the website because he’s not a frequent user. Task Please provide some feedback on how you would do the following:-  Being the only Test Engineer on this task, what would your approach be for this requirement?  Identify the key areas for testing this page.  What tools if any, would you use to perform the testing, bearing in mind that the testing will be done without using an ‘automated test tool’.  Provide a sample test case that could be used for testing this page, for example as a word or Excel document.
