It seems some people are arriving at this video from a search rather than as part of the lecture series playlist. This is a supplementary video to a lecture. These links may come in handy to connect to the lecture this is based on. Timestamps & description from Lei Xun 3. Testing approaches: natural boundaries for numbers, random testing, black box testing and glass box testing 7:45 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3mZnqivj8-gqZI 4. Black box testing is based on specification, an example 9:05 5. Glass box testing tries to test every single path of the code 10:20

I like how she said "so yes is the answer" and then more and more people kept putting no

[@TheAbsoluteSir]

Ah, no explanation for Glassbox and Blackbox testing. Thanks!

[@Alex-ii3tv]

This is a good video series.

[@donfeto7636]

the path isn't complete cuz of the 0 cases haven't been covered since 0 is even and the method returns false for it!

[@peasant7214]

it still completes all 3 paths so,,,

[@nashsok]

@@peasant7214 To add, the lecture this question is associated with specifically mentions that path-complete tests can still miss bugs and that care should be taken to test boundary conditions as well.
