White box: In a white box context, all internal structures, designs, and implementations are fully visible and accessible. This term is often used in reference to types of testing where complete knowledge of the system is available. For instance, white box testing involves thorough testing of software components based on the understanding of the underlying code, algorithms, and system architecture. This allows testers to craft specific test cases to cover all paths and scenarios within the system.
