Is testing through secondary testing app white box testing?

What kind of Software testing(Black-box or White-box) is done by Selenuim?

  • Black-box/White-box testing is a part of Correctness testing in Software development. Does selenium testing plays a role in corrective testing?

  • Answer:

    Going by traditional definition of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-box_testing, Selenium is for black box testing. It is used for web browser automation and hence is often used for functional test automation. Having said that, we have used selenium for different purpose like content verification testing, mobile web app testing etc. I hope this helps.

Kindly check my answer for white box testing here: . A white box test is identified using knowledge of internals, but can be executed at any layer (unless a layer poses constraints). So, Selenium can be used to conduct a sub-set of white box tests.

Selenium is mainly used to automate Regression test cases using black box approach. FYI : most of the testing performed by testers is black box only
