Brief information about different colors of testing :-)

White-box testing : This is a method of testing the application at the level of the source code. This is also known as clear box testing, glass box testing, transparent box testing, and structural testing.

White-box test design techniques include: 

•          Control flow testing
•         Data flow testing
•         Branch testing
•         Path testing
•         Statement coverage
•         Decision coverage

 Black box testing: This is a method of testing by executing the code. Here user does not have the access to view the source code. User concentrates on the UI and functionality of the application as specified in the documents.
