About Black Box Testing:
Black-box testing is a type of software testing in which the tester is not concerned
with the internal knowledge or implementation details of the software but rather
focuses on validating the functionality based on the provided specifications or
requirements.

Types of Black Box Testing:
Functional Testing
Black box testing can test specific functions or features of the software under test. For example, checking that it is possible to log in using correct user
credentials, and not possible to log in using wrong credentials.
Functional testing can focus on the most critical aspects of the software (smoke testing/sanity testing), on integration between key components
(integration testing), or on the system as a whole (system testing).
Non-Functional Testing
Black box testing can check additional aspects of the software, beyond features and functionality. A non-functional test does not check “if” the software
can perform a specific action but “how” it performs that action.
Black box tests can uncover if software is:
-Usable and easy to understand for its users
-Performant under expected or peak loads
-Compatible with relevant devices, screen sizes, browsers or operating systems
-Exposed to security vulnerabilities or common security threats
Regression Testing
Black box testing can be used to check if a new version of the software exhibits a regression, or degradation in capabilities, from one version to the next.
Regression testing can be applied to functional aspects of the software (for example, a specific feature no longer works as expected in the new version),
or non-functional aspects (for example, an operation that performed well is very slow in the new version).

Techniques of Black Box Testing:
Equivalence Partitioning Decision Table Testing
Testers can divide possible inputs into groups or Testers can then identify “rules” which are a
“partitions”, and test only one example input from each combination of conditions, identify the outcome of
group. each rule, and design a test case for each rule.

Advantages :
• The tester does not need to have more functional knowledge or programming skills.
• It is efficient for implementing the tests in the larger system.
• Tests are executed from the users or client point of view.
• It is used in finding the ambiguity and contradiction in the functional specifications.
Dis-Advantages :
• It does not reveal the errors in the control structure.
• Working with a large sample space of inputs can be exhaustive and consumes a lot
of time.
