Inspection 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 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 is a software testing method in which the internal
structure/ design/ implementation of the item being
tested is known to the tester
Black box 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 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 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

Types of Black Box Testing functional, non-functional, and regression testing
Very limited Which level of coding knowledge is needed to perform
black box testing?
System testing has a particular purpose: to compare the system or
program to its original objectives
Inspection 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 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?
Black box testing There is a requirement to verify the usability of a
product as it is being delivered to ensure overall
design and functionality without regard to the internal
functioning of the code. Which quality method
meets this requirement?
Code inspection QA proposes a formal group meeting where the
programmer narrates, statement by statement, the
logic of a program as an error detection technique.
Which
quality method meets this proposal?
Backtracking A program's state changes from what is expected.
Which practice should be applied to find the location
of the defect?
Reproducing the error A web developer or QA tester encounters an error. What
is the best practice to initiate resolution of this error?
