-To give you a slightly better understanding of the differences

-

-2

-00:00:03,185 --> 00:00:06,300

-between black-box testing and white-box testing, I am going to provide you

-

-3

-00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:10,040

-a couple of simple examples that illustrate the, the strengths and

-

-4

-00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:12,920

-limitations of these two techniques. So, in this case, let's start

-

-5

-00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,750

-with black-box testing, so we're only working with this specification.

-

-6

-00:00:15,750 --> 00:00:18,540

-So, let's say that our specification says that this is a

-

-7

-00:00:18,540 --> 00:00:23,550

-program that inputs an integer value and prints it. And implementation,

-

-8

-00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:25,900

-we don't know because we're working at the black box level.

-

-9

-00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:28,710

-If we wanted to test this function according to its

-

-10

-00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:32,060

-specification, what we will probably do is to select a positive

-

-11

-00:00:32,060 --> 00:00:35,370

-integer, a negative integer, and the zero as test inputs

-

-12

-00:00:35,370 --> 00:00:37,840

-and see how the program behaves for these inputs. So let

-

-13

-00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,500

-me now show you a possible implementation for this specification.

-

-14

-00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:44,590

-What I'm showing here is this function that we called print

-

-15

-00:00:44,590 --> 00:00:48,010

-NumBytes, which takes the parameter and prints it. And one thing

-

-16

-00:00:48,010 --> 00:00:50,905

-that we notice right away is that, although in the specification,

-

-17

-00:00:50,905 --> 00:00:53,960

-numbers that are less than 1024 and numbers that

-

-18

-00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,320

-are greater or equal to 1024 are exactly equivalent from

-

-19

-00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,020

-the specification standpoint. They're however treated differently in the

-

-20

-00:01:01,020 --> 00:01:04,140

-code, so the developer decided that the program was just

-

-21

-00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:06,200

-going to print the value of the parameter if it's

-

-22

-00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,300

-less than 1024. But it was actually divided by 1024

-

-23

-00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:13,560

-and printing it with a kilobyte mark after it

-

-24

-00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,170

-if you are greater than 1024. And notice that here,

-

-25

-00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:19,370

-there is a problem. The developer, just a number 124, instead

-

-26

-00:01:19,370 --> 00:01:22,840

-of 1024. So there's probably a typo in this point in the

-

-27

-00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,260

-code. So this is a case in which by simply doing black-box

-

-28

-00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:28,750

-testing, so by simply looking at the specific issue, we might miss

-

-29

-00:01:28,750 --> 00:01:31,510

-this problem. Because we have no reason to consider numbers that are

-

-30

-00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:34,780

-less than 1024 or greater than 1024. However if we were to

-

-31

-00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:38,010

-look at the code, so operating at white-box manner, we will right

-

-32

-00:01:38,010 --> 00:01:41,340

-away see that we need to have a test case that checks

-

-33

-00:01:41,340 --> 00:01:44,880

-the program when the parameter is greater than 1024. And we will find

-

-34

-00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,300

-the problem right away. So now let me show you a dual example.
