Testing Types
1. White box testing (Also known as Clear Box Testing, Glass Box Testing, Open Box Testing and Structural Testing): Used to test internal based application.
2. Black box testing (Also known as Skin Box Testing, Closed Box Testing and Behavioral Testing): Used to test functional based or requirement based application.
3. Gray box testing: Used to test web applications. It is a combination of both White box & Black box testing.

Software Testing Check List
Sometimes testers confused when they have assigned any testing task for any product. They dont know from where they should start the testing. To keep this in mind, I have collected information from many websites. Also I have put my inputs and updated the information in simple form. I have created a Checklist for website testing as well as Checklist for Desktop application Testing.
Checklist covers the following points:
Step 1 - User Interface Testing (GUI Testing)
Step 2 - Functionality Testing
Step 3 - Interface Testing
Step 4 - Compatibility Testing
Step 5 - Security Testing
Step 6 - Performance testing
