glass box
See-through cubic enclosure
A glass box is an enclosure with transparent walls, used for display cases, terrariums, or architectural features.
Figuratively, it describes environments of enforced visibility or transparency—workplaces where employees are constantly observed, or situations lacking privacy: Working in that open office felt like being in a glass box.
In software testing, glass box (or white box) testing examines internal code structure rather than just inputs and outputs.
