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 |
