    Advantages of White Box Testing
    1. Forces test developer to reason carefully about implementation.
    2. Reveals errors in "hidden" code.
    3. Spots the Dead Code or other issues with respect to best programming practices.

    Disadvantages of White Box Testing
    1. Expensive as one has to spend both time and money to perform white box testing.
    2. Every possibility that few lines of code are missed accidentally.
    3. In-depth knowledge about the programming language is necessary to perform white box testing.
