Inspection - ANSWER✔✔-A code inspection is a set of procedures and error-detection techniques for
group code reading. Most discussions of code inspections focus on the procedures, forms to be filled
out, and so on. Here, after a short summary of the general procedure, we will focus on the actual error-
detection techniques
Walkthrough - ANSWER✔✔-The code walkthrough, like the inspection, is a set of procedures and error-
detection techniques for group code reading. It shares much in common with the inspection process, but
the procedures are slightly different, and a different error-detection technique is employed.
White box - ANSWER✔✔-is a software testing method in which the internal structure/ design/
implementation of the item being tested is known to the tester
Black box - ANSWER✔✔-is a method of software testing that examines the functionality of an application
without peering into its internal structures or workings. This method of test can be applied virtually to
every level of software testing: unit, integration, system and acceptance.
Acceptance - ANSWER✔✔-is the process of comparing the program to its initial requirements and the
current needs of its end users. It is an unusual type of test in that it usually is performed by the
program's customer or end user and normally is not considered the responsibility of the development
organization.

Function - ANSWER✔✔-is a process of attempting to find discrepancies between the program and the
external specification. An external specification is a precise description of the program's behavior from
the end-user point of view. (black box testing)
Types of White Box Testing - ANSWER✔✔-Unit Testing.
Static Analysis.
Dynamic Analysis.
Statement Coverage.
Branch testing Coverage.
Mutation Testing.
Types of Black Box Testing - ANSWER✔✔-functional, non-functional, and regression testing
Very limited - ANSWER✔✔-Which level of coding knowledge is needed to perform black box testing?
System testing - ANSWER✔✔-has a particular purpose: to compare the system or program to its original
objectives
Inspection - ANSWER✔✔-Management has requested that the development team have a moderator
review their newest module of code. Which type of review is being asked for?
Black box - ANSWER✔✔-An informal review of a module of code has been completed. The development
team has decided to evaluate the module from an end user perspective. Which method should be used
to determine if the code meets quality standards?
