Black Box Types

Black-box testing is a method that evaluates software based on input-output behavior without knowledge of internal code. It includes various techniques such as Functional Testing, Non-Functional Testing, Boundary Value Analysis, and others to ensure both functional and non-functional requirements are met. These techniques simulate real user interactions, enhancing software reliability and usability.

Describe the Different Types of Black-Box Testing (10 Marks)

============================================================

Black-box testing is a software testing method where the internal code structure is not known to the
tester. It focuses on input-output behavior to validate the system.

1. Functional Testing
---------------------
- Tests specific functionalities against requirements.
- Example: Checking if a login page accepts valid credentials and rejects invalid ones.

2. Non-Functional Testing
-------------------------
- Evaluates system characteristics like performance and usability.
- Example: Testing how fast a webpage loads on a mobile browser.

3. Boundary Value Analysis (BVA)


--------------------------------
- Tests at the edge of input ranges.
- Example: For a field accepting 1–100, test with 0, 1, 100, and 101.

4. Equivalence Partitioning
---------------------------
- Divides input into valid and invalid partitions to reduce test cases.
- Example: For 1–100 range: test with 50 (valid), -5 or 150 (invalid).

5. Decision Table Testing


-------------------------
- Used when multiple combinations of inputs exist.
- Example: Approving a loan based on income and credit score.

6. State Transition Testing


---------------------------
- Tests system behavior across different states.
- Example: User transitions: Logged out → Logged in → Checkout.

7. Use Case Testing


-------------------
- Based on user interactions with the system.
- Example: Simulating a user booking a movie ticket online.

8. Regression Testing
---------------------
- Ensures new updates don’t break existing features.
- Example: After adding "Apply Coupon," verify "Add to Cart" still works.

Conclusion:
-----------
Black-box testing techniques help ensure software meets functional and non-functional requirements
without needing to see internal code. They simulate real user behavior, making the software reliable and
user-friendly.
