Black-box testing
A software engineering testing method in which the tester can observe system behavior only through inputs and outputs, without access to internal implementation or execution processes. Unlike conventional software, in probabilistic AI agent scenarios it systematically misses risks.

A blind tester refers to an agent or person who is not allowed to read the product source code while writing tests, a practice borrowed from the black-box testing philosophy.
Black-box testing systematically misses risks in Agent validation, because checking only input-output pairs cannot reveal that an Agent called an API it should not have called during execution or made unintended changes to production data.
Penetration testing is generally divided into three modes: black-box testing, white-box testing, and gray-box testing, of which white-box testing has the greatest workload and highest cost due to the need to audit code line by line.
All Facts (4)
Black-box testing does not focus on internal implementation logic and only focuses on whether external functionality is correct; white-box testing only focuses on whether internal code logic is correct; gray-box testing falls between the two.
