Unlike black box testing where the tester need not have a knowledge on the working of code deployed in the application, for white box testing, it is a must. Specially, when the graphical user interface keeps changing during code merges and deployments in the software testing phase, the tester needs to introspect the changes being done every now and then. Also, if one is following the state transition diagram method for black box testing, then the white box testing will help in evaluating the re-usability of the test cases generated and also will help in checking whether all the pathways connecting the actions and the events have been traversed at least once. But as far as software testing is concerned, both these testing techniques are very important for checking not only the overall functionality of the application but also the code quality and application.

Hope this article was informative on black box testing. Software testing is an integral part of software development life cycle. Without the testing part, an application remains incomplete. There are many testing tools, available on Internet, for both black box testing and white box testing which help in generating test cases for your applications. But make sure that you understand the black box testing techniques well, before implementing them in your application.
