Grey box testing is also called as grey box analysis which is a strategy of software debugging. It is based on black box testing and white box testing. It is a technique where test of a software product is done with the partial knowledge of the internal process of a system. Grey box testing is a process where errors related to web systems are identified first. Generally it is a combination of black box testing and white box testing.
In white box testing internal structure is known
In black box testing internal structure of system is unknown
In grey box testing internal structure of system is partially known
Grey box testing tests the both sides of an application, presentation layer and code part. It is performed for the below reasons
- It provides benefits of black box testing and white box testing.
- It combines the inputs of both developers and testers and provides a better quality result.
- It reduces the all over long process of functional and non functional types.
- It provides a lot of free time for a developer to correct his errors.
- Testing is conducted from user’s point of view apart from designer’s point of view.
The techniques used in grey box testing are:
Matrix testing:
It defines all the variables in the programs which are designed by developers.
To check whether the new defects are introduced in the software due to the change in the previous version of program and software environment.
Pattern testing:
Unlike black box testing the grey box testing reaches to the depth of the program code and determines the cause for the failure.
It is named as Grey box testing because the product which has to be tested by a tester is like a grey box which is translucent box where the tester sees partially in it. The tester will not require the access to the code that is why grey box testing is unbiased and non-intrusive. To test web service application grey box testing is usually used.

1.How Grey box testing is different from white box and black box testing?
_ Grey Box Testing is a combination of Both White and Black Box testing. In Grey box testing we have only a partial view or partial knowledge of the internal structure of the programme. But in Black box testing we no need to have the code or programme knowledge. In White box testing normally done by the developers should have the knowledge of internal code.
2. What are the techniques used in grey box testing?
– In Grey Box we have
* Matrix testing – we test every variable of the programme
* Regression testing – we test any new defects introduced in the new version software
* Pattern Testing –
How Grey box testing is different from white box and black box testing?
Grey-box testing is a testing approach when the testers have only a partial access to the internal structure. Often it includes databases and the information about algorithms used, though it depends on the case. Still, testing is done from the point of view of an ordinary user like in the case of black-box testing.
What are the techniques used in grey box testing?

o matrix testing
o regression testing
o orthogonal array testing
o pattern testing

White Box testing is done at the program or component level and interfaces between the programs while developers still conducting the programs and interfaces between the programs. It is also known as structural testing because the internal structure of the software program components is tested.
Black Box testing is done by the QA team and end users. They do not have any knowledge about the internal structure of the system.
Grey Box testing is a software debugging strategy. It is a combination of White Box testing and Black Box testing. Like its name Grey Box Testing has the characteristics of Black Box and White Box testing that has made this kind translucent where you can have the partial knowledge of internal system but can’t access the code but errors related to web systems are identified first.
The Techniques used in the Grey Box testing are,
Matrix Testing: The developers design all variables for testing.
Regression testing: It checks if a new defect has developed in the program due to the change in the previous version of the program and software environment.
Pattern testing: Unlike black box testing the grey box testing reaches to the depth of the program code and determines the cause for the failure.

1. Grey box testing which is also called as grey box analysis is a strategy of software debugging. grey box testing is done based
on black box testing and white box testing. in black box testing the tester doesn’t know the internal working of application
where as in white box testing the testing is performed on source code and architecture of the system and the tester will have
complete knowledge of internal working system.
Grey box testing is done based on white box testing and black box testing where the tester will have partial knowledge of the
internal working system. Grey box testing will provide the benefits of black box testing and white box testing.
2. Grey Box Testing techniques:
– Matrix Testing: states the status report of the project.
– Regression testing: it implies rerunning of the test cases if new changes are made.
– Pattern Testing: verify the good application for its design or architecture and patterns.

1. How Grey box testing is different from white box and black box testing?
White box testing is testing done by Developers and mainly the programs or codes are tested. Black box testing is testing done by Testers and mainly the application or functions. Grey box testing is a combination of testing done by both developers and testers where both sides of each application of software (code and functionality) are tested. It provides a better quality to the final product by testing software from both user’s and developer’s perspective.

In grey box testing the internal structure is partially known.
It provide the benefits of white and black box testing
It combines the data from testers and developers to give better results
It gives enough time to developers to fix the errors
It test the software process in user pint of view not design point of view
It reduces the long process of functional and non functional types
2) Techniques
Matrix testing- It defines the variables present in the program developed by developer
Regression testing- it is to check if the new defects are present in the software due to changes in the previuos version of the software environment
Pattern testing- Unlike black box testing, it goes to the depth of the program code and find outs the failures.

In Grey box testing – the tester and developer work hand in hand to get to the root of the problem.
How Grey box testing is different from white box and black box testing?
The grey box testing is based on white box testing and black box testing or we can say its is the combination of white box and black box testing
What are the techniques used in grey box testing?
white box testing – this type of testing is done by the developer it has unit testing and interrogation testing
Black box testing – this type of testing done by the QA this testing contain a hole process of STLC .
Grey box testing is to test software product with the partial knowledge of the internal process of a system. It is a software debugging strategy. It is a combination of black box testing and white box testing.
Pattern testing
