What is the difference between Black-Box and White-Box Testing?

 

  • Black-Box Testing: This approach focuses on testing the functionality of an application without knowing its internal structure or code. Testers provide input and analyze the output without understanding how the system processes it. For example, testing a login page by entering credentials and verifying the expected response.
  • White-Box Testing: Unlike black-box testing, white-box testing requires knowledge of the application's internal workings. Testers evaluate the internal logic, code structures, and data flows while performing functional testing. This method is commonly used for unit testing and verifying code efficiency.

    How do you log a bug?

     A bug (or defect) is an issue identified during testing that affects functionality. It is logged using a defect tracking tool (e.g., Jira, Bugzilla) with the following details: Defect ID – Unique identifier for tracking. Summary – Brief description of the issue. Description – Steps to reproduce the bug. Severity – Impact level (High, Medium, Low). Priority – Fixing urgency (Critical, High, Medium, Low). Environment – Where the bug was found (Dev, Test, Prod). Assigned To – Developer responsible for fixing. Status – Open, In Progress, Resolved, Closed. Attachments – Screenshots/logs for reference.

    What is CI, CD and CT?

     In software development, CI (Continuous Integration), CD (Continuous Delivery/Deployment), and CT (Continuous Testing) are key DevOps practices that streamline the software development lifecycle by enabling automation, rapid feedback, and continuous deployment of high-quality code. Continuous Integration (CI): Developers frequently merge code changes into a shared repository, triggering automated builds and tests to detect issues early, ensuring stability and consistency. Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD): Automates the release process; in Continuous Delivery , deployments require manual approval, whereas in Continuous Deployment , releases occur automatically without manual intervention. Continuous Testing (CT): Involves running automated tests throughout development, providing real-time feedback on code quality and reducing the risk of defects reaching production.
