Gray Box: Gray box testing is a hybrid approach to software testing that combines elements of both black box and white box testing methodologies. Testers have partial knowledge of the internal workings of the application, which allows them to design test cases with more efficiency. Gray box testing is ideal for situations where understanding the context is essential, such as security penetration testing, where knowledge of system architecture enhances testing effectiveness.
