Techniques for checking coded solutions

Question 1

What are some techniques for checking code?

Answer 1

• Performance testing assesses response times, user behaviour, and system performance in real conditions, revealing areas for software enhancements based on the results.
• Integration tests ensure that various modules in the application function together, requiring multiple parts of the solution to be active for meaningful testing.

Question 2

Explain how “black box” testing occurs. How is that different to “white box” testing?

Answer 2

Black Box Testing
Evaluates software functionality from a user perspective without internal knowledge, focusing on inputs and outputs.

White Box Testing
Examines internal code and logic, ensuring in-depth evaluation of software behaviour by understanding its internal structure.
