Abstract :
A Software testing is an action which is intended for estimate feature or an ability of a program and guarantee that it meets the necessary effect. Software produced will never be faultless without being tested and approved. This makes us discover a technique for testing concealed bugs at different stages by a superior technique. Testing is a procedure where we can spot concealed bugs, code faults or any unused code in certain software. Currently, there are lots of techniques being used for testing faults in software; among them, most proficient techniques for testing software are black-box testing, white-box testing, and gray-box testing. In sort to take testing, via various techniques involves extreme use of resources and time. Many techniques have resulted in duplication of effort because they locate the same kind of faults. For this intention, appropriate selection of testing techniques is essential. So there is required to evaluate testing techniques. Most of the empirical study had performed to estimate software testing techniques in terms of accuracy and efficiency. In this paper, we have illustrated and compared the three most common and frequently used software testing techniques for discovering errors; they are white-box testing, black box testing, and grey-box testing.
