Workplace Scenario

In industry, you may be asked to test a software product before customer delivery. Black box testing is typically done late in the development lifecycle, after a large portion of the functionality of a product is to be delivered. To ensure product quality, you will want to test your product using the product’s requirements as a guide. Additionally, you will want to report the results of your testing to the development team.

You may not always be in the same position as product tester, so you will want to ensure that your test cases can be run by your co-workers on future versions of the product.
