Topic : Simulation, Testing and Debugging Methodology and Tools

Difficulty level : Medium

• It is also called as functional testing which looks at the system from a requirement’s point of view.
• It checks to see if system is able to satisfy all requirements expected out of it.
• There is no focus on code coverage.
• It is independent of the way the system has been designed and implemented.
• Black box testing and development teams perform their jobs independent of each other.
• Functional testing looks at the system from requirement point of view, it is best suited for testing non-functional requirements.
• It also finds problems that are not detectable by regression testing or code based testing.
• If the specification for the software good, are the specification changes rapidly, black box testing nice to keep pace with it limiting its effectiveness.

• It will not perform the analysis of code coverage.
