Answer for 3rd
White box testing : White box testing is a test case design method that uses the control structure of the procedural design to derive test cases.

Black box testing : Black box testing attempts to derive sets of inputs that will fully exercise all the functional requirements of a system.

When would you perform regression testing?

This depends on the requirements and the lifespan of a product, but there are many other factors that influence whether regression testing needs to be done.

An example would be a product that is at certain stage in it's life cycle, and there is a requirement for a new version to replace the old version.

In theory the ideal scenario would be that the new version of the software fully supports the legacy functions of the previous version and is able to add new functionality to the product without compromising the functional integrity of the overall product.

With that in mind, this is where regression testing would be done, as you would now want to ascertain whether the new version of the product does not add new defects into the system.

Hope this helps.

WHITE BOX TESTING: it is nothing but testing the structural and logic behind the software. We need to write test cases satisfying all the paths and loops in the module and check whether the logic is satisfied. It is logic driven testing.

BLACK BOX TESTING: It is jus checking the software for the necessary results by providing different input. It is requirement driving testing.

REGRESSION TESTING: It is testing the software in every version or after fixing the bug or enhancement, to check whether any new errors have been inculcated in the software because of the new build.
