Explanation

White-box testing (also called glass-box or clear-box testing) involves full knowledge of the application's internal structure, code, and logic, allowing testers to examine paths, conditions, and data flow. Black-box testing treats the application as an opaque system, testing only inputs and expected outputs without seeing internal code. White-box is typically done by developers, while black-box simulates an external attacker or user perspective.
