Software Verification Vs Validation

Verification is a rigorous mathematical demonstration that source code conforms to its specifications.

Validation is the process of evaluating the software at the end of the software development process to determine compliance with the requirements.

Boehm's Defenition follows 

Verification: " Are we building the product right ? "

Validation : " Are we building the right Product ? " 

White Box Testing or Glass Box Testing

White-box testing (also known as clear box testing, glass box testing, transparent box testing, and structural testing) is a method of testing software that tests internal structures or workings of an application.
