Black Box Testing	White Box Testing
It is a way of software testing in which the internal structure or the program or the code is hidden and nothing is known about it.	It is a way of testing the software in which the tester has knowledge about the internal structure or the code or the program of the software.
Implementation of code is not needed for black box testing.	Code implementation is necessary for white box testing.
It is mostly done by software testers.	It is mostly done by software developers.
No knowledge of implementation is needed.	Knowledge of implementation is required.
It can be referred to as outer or external software testing.	It is the inner or the internal software testing.
It is a functional test of the software.	It is a structural test of the software.
This testing can be initiated based on the requirement specifications document.	This type of testing of software is started after a detail design document.
No knowledge of programming is required.	It is mandatory to have knowledge of programming.

Can be done by trial and error ways and methods.	Data domains along with inner or internal boundaries can be better tested.
Example: Search something on google by using keywords	Example: By input to check and verify loops
Black-box test design techniques-Decision table testingAll-pairs testingEquivalence partitioningError guessing	White-box test design techniques-Control flow testingData flow testingBranch testing
Types of Black Box Testing: Functional Testing Non-functional testing Regression Testing	Types of White Box Testing: Path Testing Loop Testing Condition testing
