There are many types of Black Box Testing but the following are the prominent ones -

  • Functional testing - This black box testing type is related to the functional requirements of a system. Here, different actions or functions of the system are being tested by providing the input and comparing the actual output with the expected output.
    Eg: When we test a Dropdown list, we click on it and verify that it expands and all the expected values are showing in the list.

    Few major types of Functional Testing are:

    1. Smoke Testing
    2. Sanity Testing
    3. Integration Testing
    4. System Testing
    5. Regression Testing
    6. User Acceptance Testing

  • Non-functional testing - This type of black-box testing is not related to testing of specific functionality, but non-functional requirements such as performance, scalability, usability, etc.

    Few major types of Non-Functional Testing are:

    1. Usability Testing
    2. Load Testing
    3. Performance Testing
    4. Compatibility Testing
    5. Stress Testing
    6. Scalability Testing
