White-box testing

White-box testing (also known as clear box testing, glass box testing, transparent box testing, and structural testing) is a method of testing software that tests internal structures or workings of an application, as opposed to its functionality (i.e. black-box testing).

In white-box testing an internal perspective of the system, as well as programming skills, are used to design test cases.

The tester chooses inputs to exercise paths through the code and determine the appropriate outputs.

This is analogous to testing nodes in a circuit, e.g. in-circuit testing (ICT).

White-box testing can be applied at the unit, integration and system levels of the software testing process.

Although traditional testers tended to think of white-box testing as being done at the unit level, it is used for integration and system testing more frequently today.

It can test paths within a unit, paths between units during integration, and between subsystems during a system–level test.

Though this method of test design can uncover many errors or problems, it has the potential to miss unimplemented parts of the specification or missing requirements.

White-box testing is a method of testing the application at the level of the source code.

These test cases are derived through the use of the design techniques mentioned above: control flow testing, data flow testing, branch testing, path testing, statement coverage and decision coverage as well as modified condition/decision coverage. White-box testing is the use of these techniques as guidelines to create an error free environment by examining any fragile code.

These White-box testing techniques are the building blocks of white-box testing, whose essence is the careful testing of the application at the source code level to prevent any hidden errors later on.

These different techniques exercise every visible path of the source code to minimize errors and create an error-free environment.

The whole point of white-box testing is the ability to know which line of the code is being executed and being able to identify what the correct output should be.

HOW TO BYPASS OR UNBLOCK BLOCKED SITES:-

Today everyone of us is a part of any college,office or any organization. Everywhere we find free open wifi’s , but the major problem with these are there are many websites which are blocked by the servers of college,ofiice or any organization.

How Hackers Look Like and What They Think?

Self-educated hackers are more respected in hacker’s community because that person is really interested in hacking and he passed a lot of things that are not teached in schools and college. The most common things hackers do is computers electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, linguistics and philosophy. However, like every developer is not the hacker, hackers do not always have the skills of programming, but someone of them have. :) Clothing styles: Hackers dress simply, casually: jeans, T-shirt and shoes. T-shirts are usually with some humorous slogans. today there are T-shirts with pictures of Penguin (trademark Linux) or daemon (BSD). A small number of hackers prefers hiking boots. This prefer wearing of black clothes. Hackers care more about comfort, practicality and ease of maintenance of clothes. They hate business suits. OTHER INTERESTS: Hobbies that hackers do are widespread. Mostly they like science fiction, music, medievalism, chess, war games and intel...

What is Pendrive Hacking ?

Windows allows the storage of the passwords, as do modern browsers. While this feature is convenient for users, it has imposed itself as a big security risk among organizations. We know that browsers store most passwords on daily basis, like MSN messenger, Yahoo, Facebook passwords, etc. Most people lack time and ask their browsers to save their passwords. As we know, there are many tools available to recover saved passwords, so in this article I will explain to you how to make a USB password stealer and steal saved passwords. Just to explain the concept, we are going to collect some password stealing tools, tools that are freely available on the internet and capable of stealing the passwords stored in the browsers or other windows files. Then, we create a batch program that will execute these combined programs and store the stolen usernames and passwords in a text file. To further spice up the penetration testing demonstration, we will also make this batch file execute as an...
