Glossary of Software QA/Testing


(Continued from previous question...)

Structural Testing

(1)Testing that takes into account the internal mechanism [structure] of a system or component. Types include branch testing, path testing, statement testing.
(2) Testing to insure each program statement is made to execute during testing and that each program statement performs its intended function.

Structural testing is white box testing, not black box testing, since black boxes are considered opaque and do not permit visibility into the code.
Structural testing is also known as clear box testing, also known as glass box testing.
Structural testing is a way to test software with knowledge of the internal workings of the code being tested.
