Different test strategies including black- and white-box testing and alpha and beta testing
Concise definitions!
A good skill for students to get used to ahead of their exams is to be able to get as much information down as possible
regarding a key concept or definition without wasting time.
In this task, students are asked to simply define the terms black-box, white-box, alpha and beta testing.
However, they must do so in 15 words or less and make at least three valid points.

Different test strategies including black- and white-box testing and alpha and beta testing
Concise definitions!
Write a definition for the following four terms. Each definition must:
• Be 15 words or less.
• Make at least three valid points.
Black-box testing
This is a testing strategy that is concerned with the program giving the required output
for a certain input
White-box testing
This is a testing strategy that is concerned with the internal code of the program being
efficient
Alpha testing
This is a near-release testing strategy that involves releasing a working version to a
small circle of people to test the software’s capability
Beta testing
This is a near-release testing strategy that involves releasing a working version to the
wider public to test the limits of specs like device compatibilities and OS requirements
