Gray Box
Testing is a software testing method which is a
combination of Black Box Testing and White Box Testing. In Gray Box
Testing, the tester tests the software by having partial knowledge on internal
structure of the software. Intention of this testing is to identify the defects
on the internal working structure of the software.
For
Example: Login account module is designed in such a way that, the account
should lock if user logs with invalid authenticate thrice. Here software tester
knew the partial knowledge on the internal working structure code of login
account module. If login account, doesn’t work for the invalid authenticate,
the tester can conclude/guess the problem could be with specific piece of the
code.
