As per Wikipedia,
A penetration test is a method of evaluating the security of a computer system or network by simulating an attack from a malicious source, known as a Black Hat Hacker, or Cracker.

Black box testing is also termed as functional testing. It ignores how the internal
functionality of a system works and depends only what are the outputs on specified
inputs. Source code availability is not an important in back box testing. Black box testing is mostly to ensure that it meets the user functionality. |
White box testing is opposite to Black box it requires internal know how of how the logic flows. As this testing needs know how of the internal structure it can only be done programmers. Unit testing is one of the ways of doing White box testing in which programmers use NUNIT or JNUIT to test each class individually. White box testing can be done by programmer by either stepping through the code or testing the classes and components in isolation. |
Black box testing - Testing a system without having specific knowledge .
whitebox testing - Testing a system with knowing the internal logic. |
Gray-box testing is the combination of White-box and Black-box |
Testing conducted to enable a user/customer to determine whether to accept a software product. Normally performed to validate the software meets a set of agreed acceptance criteria. |
A testing phase where the tester tries to 'break' the system by randomly trying the system's functionality. Can include negative testing as well. |
|
A specification defining requirements for portability of applications in binary forms across different system platforms and environments. |
An approach to integration testing where the lowest level components are tested first, then used to facilitate the testing of higher level components. The process is repeated until the component at the top of the hierarchy is tested. |
Test which focus on the boundary or limit conditions of the software being tested. |
The Capability Maturity Model for Software (CMM or SW-CMM) is a model for judging the maturity of the software processes of an organization and for identifying the key practices that are required to increase the maturity of these processes. |
A graphical representation of inputs and the associated outputs effects which can be used to design test cases. |
Testing of combined parts of an application to determine if they function together correctly. Usually performed after unit and functional testing. This type of testing is especially relevant to client/server and distributed systems. |
Testing conducted to evaluate the compliance of a system or component with specified performance requirements. Often this is performed using an automated test tool to simulate large number of users. Also know as "Load Testing". |
Defect Measurement is a process for analyzing the efficiency of developer and tester and the process on the base of the bug details collected from one
project. |
