White box testing: Also referred to as crystal-box testing or clear-box testing, is a method of software testing where the tester has full visibility of the internal workings of the software, including the code structure, algorithms, and logic. The tests are based on coverage of code statements, branches, paths, and conditions and are used to ensure that all the pathways through the code are tested. This approach requires a deep understanding of the system’s internals and is often used to validate complex logical flows and security vulnerabilities.
