Grey-Box Testing:- Grey-box testing is a type of software testing that combines both black-box and white-box testing methods. Grey-box testing involves having knowledge of the internal structure and design of the system being tested, but not necessarily all the details. This allows for a more thorough testing, as the tester can focus on specific areas of the system that may be more prone to errors. Examples of grey-box testing include testing of software libraries, APIs, and other components that have well-defined interfaces but complex internal structures.
Context-specific mistakes that pertain to web systems are frequently found throughout this process. By focusing on every layer of any complicated system, it broadens the testing coverage.
In simple way, Software testing technique known as "Grey Box Testing" combines both White Box Testing and Black Box Testing.
- Internal structure (code) is known in White Box testing
- Internal structure (code) is unknown in black box testing.
- and only partially known in grey box testing.
Grey box testing example:- When testing links or orphan links on websites, if the tester finds any issues, he can immediately make the necessary modifications in the HTML code and retest.
