Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
A.
Structure-based testing is another term for white-box testing, not black-box testing.
B.
Code-based testing refers to techniques that rely on analyzing and testing the source code, which aligns with white-box testing. Black-box testing does not involve the code or internal structure of the software, so this term is not appropriate.
C.
Black-box testing is based on analyzing the specifications or expected behavior of the system. It focuses on what the system should do according to requirements, ignoring the internal workings.
D.
Experience-based testing relies on the tester’s intuition, skills, and past experience to design tests. While it can complement black-box testing, it is a separate technique and not a synonym for black-box testing.
