-In this case we focus on white box testing. So consider now this

-

-2

-00:00:03,086 --> 00:00:06,556

-other function, called fun. And let's assume that we want to test this function

-

-3

-00:00:06,556 --> 00:00:09,777

-without having a specification. So without knowing exactly what it needs to do.

-

-4

-00:00:09,777 --> 00:00:12,996

-But just by looking at the code. So we will try to do the

-

-5

-00:00:12,996 --> 00:00:16,030

-problem in this case is to try to just execute all the statements.

-

-6

-00:00:16,030 --> 00:00:18,995

-In the function. And notice I will talk extensively of what does it

-

-7

-00:00:18,995 --> 00:00:22,560

-means to do white box testing later on in the next, two classes.

-

-8

-00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,560

-So if that's our goal, if our goal is to cover all the statements,

-

-9

-00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,670

-any input will really do. So any test case

-

-10

-00:00:27,670 --> 00:00:30,250

-will excecute all statements in the code. And we'll a

-

-11

-00:00:30,250 --> 00:00:33,801

-complete, you know, white-box testing coverage for the program.

-

-12

-00:00:33,801 --> 00:00:35,865

-Imagine that I now give you a specification for this

-

-13

-00:00:35,865 --> 00:00:39,071

-function. And what the specification says is that this

-

-14

-00:00:39,071 --> 00:00:43,232

-function inputs an integer parameter, param, and returns half of

-

-15

-00:00:43,232 --> 00:00:45,860

-its value, if param is even, and its value

-

-16

-00:00:45,860 --> 00:00:50,740

-unchanged otherwise. That means if param is odd. So looking

-

-17

-00:00:50,740 --> 00:00:54,320

-at this specification, we can clearly see that the function fun

-

-18

-00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,740

-works correctly only for even integers, and it doesn't work for

-

-19

-00:00:57,740 --> 00:01:00,570

-odd integers. Because it computes. Half of the value of the

-

-20

-00:01:00,570 --> 00:01:04,410

-parameter and returns it every time, no matter what param is. So

-

-21

-00:01:04,410 --> 00:01:07,320

-this is a case in which white box testing could easily

-

-22

-00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:10,620

-miss the problem, because as we said any input will exercise

-

-23

-00:01:10,620 --> 00:01:12,900

-the code. It's just by chance that we could reveal one

-

-24

-00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:15,750

-that revealed the problem in the code. Conversely if we were to

-

-25

-00:01:15,750 --> 00:01:19,520

-work, in a black box manner. Typically looking at the specification, we

-

-26

-00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,390

-will select at least one odd, and one even input number to

-

-27

-00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:25,010

-exercise all of the specified behavior. And we will find the problem

-

-28

-00:01:25,010 --> 00:01:28,110

-right away. So these two examples are just very small examples, and

-

-29

-00:01:28,110 --> 00:01:30,910

-they're kind of, you know, stretched. But these kind of issues occur

-

-30

-00:01:30,910 --> 00:01:33,680

-on a much bigger scale and in much more subtle ways in

-

-31

-00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,970

-real world software. And so what this examples do is to show

-

-32

-00:01:36,970 --> 00:01:41,270

-you, how black box and white box tests are really complimentary techniques.

-

-33

-00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:43,130

-So in the next two lessions we will explore

-

-34

-00:01:43,130 --> 00:01:45,130

-these two types of techniques in detail. We will

-

-35

-00:01:45,130 --> 00:01:48,020

-see different kinds of white box and black box

-

-36

-00:01:48,020 --> 00:01:50,670

-testing. And we'll talk about their strengths and the mutations
