Black Box vs White Box Test

BlackBox Security Testing

  • The tester has no knowledge of the technology or frameworks that the application is built on.
  • The application is tested from outside in.
  • This type of testing represents the hacker approach.
  • This, in one sense, could be called as reverse engineering.


WhiteBox Security Testing

  • The tester has access to the underlying framework, design and implementation.
  • The application is tested from the inside out.
  • This type of testing represents the developer approach.
