white box
See-through system approach
White box describes a system whose internal workings are visible and accessible for examination.
In software testing, white box testing means examining the actual code rather than just inputs and outputs.
The term contrasts with black box, where internals are hidden or ignored.
White box analysis let us identify exactly where the algorithm failed.
