What is Structural 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.
  • White-box test design techniques include, control flow testing, data flow testing, branch testing, path testing, statement coverage and decision coverage.
