Black Box Testing is a software testing method where the tester focuses on testing the functionality of the software without knowing its internal workings or code structure. In other words, the tester treats the software as a “black box,” which means they only know the inputs and expected outputs but have no knowledge of the underlying code or logic.
1.No Knowledge of Internal Code: Testers do not need to know the internal structure, logic, or design of the application. They only focus on how the software behaves based on various inputs.
Â
2.Focus on Functionality: The primary goal is to ensure that the software works according to its functional requirements. This includes verifying whether the system produces the expected results under different conditions.
Â
3.Test Scenarios: Black box testing includes functional tests, boundary tests, usability tests, and validation of the software’s output against expected results.

5.Techniques Used:
A Black Box Test Plan outlines the testing approach without knowledge of the internal workings of the software. It focuses on inputs, outputs, and system behavior.
