Complete Automation Testing — Is It Feasible?

DZone

For example, each deliverable in the project, like the requirements, design, code, documents, user interface, etc., Moreover, we may test the code based on the user and functional requirements or specifications, i.e., black-box testing. We may also need to test the structure of the code, i.e., white box testing.
