Process of identifying the defects is also known as testing. Or In other words software testing is a verification and validation process.

What is Block Box testing?
Black Box Testing is not a type of testing; it instead is a testing strategy, which does not need any knowledge
of internal design or code etc. As the name "black box" suggests, no knowledge of internal logic or code structure is required. The types of testing under this strategy are totally based/focused on the testing for requirements and functionality of the work product/software application. Black box testing is sometimes also called as "Opaque Testing", "Functional/Behavioral Testing" and "Closed Box Testing".

It depends on the process and the associated stakeholders of the project(s). In the IT
Industry, large companies have a team with responsibilities to evaluate the developed software in the context of the given requirements. Moreover, developers also conduct testing which is called Unit Testing. In most cases, following professionals are involved in testing of a system within their respective capacities:
