It is vital that you need to have a proper license to every single software , apart from the operating system, you might have anti virus software, spy ware, registry cleaners , you know that for an average time of 6 months they will release another version of the software or an update plus you need to update your virus database daily, If you want to practically update all computers, it will at least swallow 30 minutes for each computer in a week or even in a day.

That’s why we call black box is a testing which is in respect with design specifications.

White Box Testing It’s a software testing process where the tester will examine whether the code is working as expected. The tester adopts Structural testing process, Program logic driven testing, design based testing and he will examine the internal structure of the program.

Grey Box Testing It’s a mixed process of White box and black box testing styles, but you cannot imagine as it is exactly black box testing or white box testing, because the tester of this process here will know some of the internal working of the software.
