The biggest difference between them is only a little.Comparison of two tests, then, need to be excluded such as automated testing, but this comparison is more fair.
From several aspects to compare their respective situations:
1, technology
White-box testing: coding ability, test methods, testing methods, the program logic analysis (performance issues arising point) and so on.
Black Box: archiving capabilities, test methods, testing methods, the sensitive nature of the user experience (mostly by experience), a variety of auxiliary tools (such as data generation) and so on.
We can see that they have the same place, also have their own unique things, we can not generalize, it was said programming is difficult, for a newly recruited new society, the 3 months to get started, so our testersalso have this capability, a simple business knowledge was said to face a lot of business knowledge, summarization, and accumulated experience in testing, which is an ability.The use of tools, white box and black have their own characteristics, but can make you easy to use, and which product will not have life until you learn what eight.
2, the job duties
White box: the end of the development, remove as much as possible logic error
Black Box: the end of the development, excluding integration errors as much as possible
The background of a concern, a concern front, the work is different in content, the content between them will take into account different
Said that no program is no bug, then the white box and black box, like the analysis of the bug are not perfect; but one example, white box is like standing in Taiwan, after the makeup artist, like the stage's black boxjudges, we are to review the actors, they have their own characteristics and responsibilities, they are not so simple.
In summary, they are different, there are features, but the biggest difference between them only one point, that is "patience."
All that being said, I feel that Black Box has a lot of people dry for a long time, does not want to do, always feel boring, low-tech, but they did not go to understand that there is no concern about the evolution of its various expansion; blackbox testing of people who always want to go to the cloud Jieyun or other dry white box testing, only those standards that can improve their pay or status, thus changing its position; black testers are always in the majority of low self-esteem, the pressure of public opinion to bring them so that they will not programmed to feel inferior to others, and not up development.
All this shows that black box testing to want to do good, we must first overcome himself, come out of a black box of their own way, so that black box testing experts.I ask, what is even more difficult than it beat its own?
