White box testing

Test of Object-oriented Programs - slide 8 : 35

White box testing

White box testing uses the control structures of a program unit to derive test cases

The aim of white box testing is to guarantee that all commands and expressions in a given program are executed at least once

Wish list to white box testing:
- All independent paths of a program unit has been executed at least once
- All logical branches have been exercised
- All loops and datastructures have been exercised at their boundaries
