Черный и белый ящик. Конечное состояние.
Понятие черного ящика традиционно приписывается английскому психиатру, специалисту по кибернетике, Уильяму Россу Эшби, использовавшему этот термин в книге «Введение в кибернетику»,
1959г. Вообще черным ящиком называется система, устройство которой неизвестно в силу каких-либо причин, очень сложно, а потому не может рассматриваться полностью или неважно при решении данной задачи. Данный термин был введен впервые в кибернетике, т.к. именно в кибернетике исследователи имеют делосбольшими системами, не поддающимися детальному описанию. И для их изучения лучше всего подходит метод черного ящика.
Метод черного ящика используется при решении задач, когда неизвестно внутреннее строение системы либо система очень сложна. Известны лишь данные идущие на вход(раздражители системы) и данные на выходе – реакция системы. Важно, что при решении таких задач, главная цель – понять поведение системы. На деле метод представляет собой ввод определенных данных, а затем сбор и анализ данных, полученных на выходе. По мере увеличения количества данных типа «вход-выход», становится возможным, делать предположения о поведении системы. Тем не менее, в независимости от объема данных, сделать однозначный вывод о внутреннем устройстве черного ящика нельзя, т.к. различные системы могут обладать одинаковым поведением. Хорошим примером применения метода черного ящика является изучение в биологии клетки, когда ученые, воздействуя на клетку различными средствами и получая ответные реакции, могут делать выводы о поведении клетки и возможном ее составе. Вообще любое явление, предмет, могут представляться как черный ящик. Сначала мы ничего не знаем о каком-то предмете, но накапливая опыт, мы рассеиваем «черноту» ящика, увеличиваем знания.
Человек также может выступать как черный ящик. Ведь от большего взаимодействия с людьми, мы можем лучше понимать, как они будут вести себя в какой-либо ситуации, т.е. их поведение.
При изучении сложных систем метод черного ящика является незаменимым инструментом. Дело в том, что при анализе системы может оказаться, что ее структура нам известна, но она настолько сложная и элементов в ней так много, что исследователю практически невозможно увязать все в целую картину.
Поэтому целесообразно упрощение: введение черного ящика вместо исходной системы. И построение модели уже упрощенной системы для решения конкретных задач. Наглядный пример, когда инженер при проектировании объекта отбрасывает тот факт, что все материалы и конструкции состоят из отдельных атомов, а представляют собой неделимые единицы, что позволяет упростить задачу инженера. Однако, упрощение очень рискованно, т.к. может исказить выводы об исследуемой системе, и требует строгих математических расчетов и аналитической работы.
Сам Уильям Эшби вот что говорит о методе черного ящика: «Нет лучшего способа, чем рассматривать тот исследовательский принцип, который получил название чёрного ящика. Родился этот принцип в электротехнике, но сфера его применения на самом деле значительно шире и охватывает, по-видимому, всю науку».
Для раскрытия черного ящика Норбертом Винером был предложена концепция белого ящика. Белый ящик – это система, внутреннее содержание и структура которой полностью известны. Идея заключается в том, что рядом с черным ящиком «ставится» белый, и подаются на вход одинаковые данные, а затем устройство белого ящика корректируется до тех пор, пока выходные данные совпадут.

Таким образом может быть получен ящик тождественный черному. Естественно это будет не копия, а модель системы. Но модель не будет тождественна системе, т.к. они могут обладать различным строением. Но главная мысль в том, что эта тождественность и не требуется. Более того она будет мешать, т.к. модель должна быть упрощением соответствующей системы, но при это проявлять те же свойства. Другими словами, белый ящик обладает каноническим представлением эквивалентным черному. Исходя из этого, белый ящик представляет собой конечный результат изучения ранее неизвестной системы. То есть в данном контексте конечное состояние – это белый ящик, с известной конструкцией, с такой же функциональной природой, как и у черного ящика.

Подводя итог, хочу сказать, что, ознакомившись с концепцией черного ящика, методом черного ящика как подходу к решению сложных задач, данный метод является настоящим открытием для науки и мощным инструментом, который может быть использован практически в любой сфере жизни. Я как будущий экономист-исследователь, уверен, что данный метод может применяться и при решении экономических задач, а ознакомление с ним уже сейчас, даст мне некоторое преимущество в дальнейшем обучении.

The relative complication of tests and uncovered errors is limited by the constrained scope established for unit testing. The unit test is white-box concerned with, and the step can be conducted in parallel for multiple components. The module interface is testing to ensure that information properly flows into an out of program unit under test. Local data structures are checked to ensure the data stored provisionally maintains it integrity during all the steps of algorithm execution. Edge is tested to have use of unit testing for each module during its coding. Once all the modules have suffered Unit Testing, they are assimilated and again tested for bugs using a technique called Integration Testing. Data can be lost over an interface; one module can have an adverse effect on the other and when combined may not yield the major desired function....

...‘The Ballad of the Brown Girl’ * By 1929 Cullen had published four volumes of poetry. The title poem of ‘The Black Christ and Other Poems’ (1929) was criticized for the use of Christian religious imagery - Cullen compared the lynching of a black man to the crucifixion of Jesus. * It was rumoured that he was in a relationship with Harold Jackson. I chose these two poems as it really illustrates the suffering that black people suffered in America during this era, also the fact that black people were incredibly talented and have perhaps chosen to not pursue their dream or utilise their talent as they were not supposed to be superior to whites.

Mildred Loving Case

...It was the summer of 1958, when Richard and Mildred Loving were a new couple sleeping in bed. All of a sudden the police, which were armed, slammed in their house arresting both of them and throwing them in jail, for getting married. But, why? Getting married isn’t a bad thing is it? Well if you married a different race, apparently in the 1950’s and especially in Virginia state, it was bad. The certificate of the new couple's marriage was from Washington D.C. , but under the law of Virginia state, two people of different races can not marry each other. Richard Loving was a white man who fell in love with a black woman, Mildred Loving, and married her. After five weeks of their marriage, they were arrested. They spent several days in jail...

The Lottey

...Katie Austin Mrs. Campbell General Literature 20 April 2013 “The Lottery” In this short story by Shirley Jackson, this story feels very unique and exciting for everyone in this town when it should not be. The author did well on making the story easy to understand and of course unique in its own way. When I first read the story, I understood what was going on and this event was very important to the people in town especially the black box. The beginning of story express how important the black box was to the town. It represents the change over time and tradition trap. The reason it is a tradition trap because it was used over the generation and they don’t want to get a new black box. Along with the box, I feel the people in the town were trap in the town but yet they still stood strong about this event. The Lottery uses irony and symbolizes the black box to death. At first, I really was unsure I like the story, but now after reading it a few more times I really do like it. I feel the story is new and unique to what I read. When I first read it, I didn’t really like the story because I really thought it was horrible. It reminded me of the Hunger Games and Battle Royale, but even with those two movies I didn’t like them either the first time I saw them. All those movies have their meanings why stuff happens for a reason. The comparison to those two movies and the short story is different though. All the kids die except a few in the two movies while I feel one person dies...

What Would You Do If I Rhymed Out of Tune

...speak out about race, violence and culture, is Hip-Hop music. This is a place where the music is dominated by black artists, yet most of its sales/profits are to whites in America. Is it because white people just like the beat and lyrics of the music, or are they trying to identify with a society they have never known? in spite of its popularity among white listeners, you don’t see the murder rate among young white males increasing because they identify with it. Some might argue that music could never inspire an individual to act in a certain way or someone to kill. However, some could also debate, if music can make you feel happiness or tranquil, then it might also motivate one to violence or invoke aspirations to kill. Byron Hurt, the Filmmaker of “Hip-Hop, Beyond beats and Rhymes,” talks about a “Box” that Hip-Hop puts men in with its lyrics and by the gangsters the music videos embody showing what a real man should desire to be, in his film. “In order to be in that box, men have to be strong, tough, have a lot of girls and money. Men have to be a player or pimp, they have to be in control and dominate other people, because if men are not those things, then they are called soft, weak, a pussy, chump or faggot, and nobody wants to be any of those things so they stay inside the box.” (Byron Hurt) Hip-Hop’s impractical ideas of manhood have become a box resembling a prison, the same way Plato’s cave was a prison to its own inhabitants in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave...

She began college in 1964 at Syracuse University in New York to study graphic design. She later quit taking her own photos and began taking existing images and putting her own words on top of them. A typical picture of Krugers would be a black and white image, with white text in a red box so it grabs your attention. This picture really grabs my attention because of that exact reason.

...screen and printed format. • White box testing White box testing (clear box testing, glass box testing, and transparent box checking) uses an indoor perspective of the system to style check cases supported internal structure. It wants programming skills to spot all ways through the package. White box testing is applicable for all package testing technique like unit testing, integrating testing, validation testing but it is generally applied to the unit. Using white box checking we will derive test cases that:  Guarantee that each one independent methods among a module are exercised a minimum of once.  All loops are executed at their boundaries and among their operational bounds.  Execute internal arrangement to assure their validity. Execute internal data structure to assure their validity • Black box testing Black box testing focuses on the purposeful requirements of the software. it is additionally referred to as purposeful testing. It’s a computer code testing technique whereby the interior mechanisms of the thing being tested are not familiar by the tester. As an example, in a very black box check on software design the tester solely is aware of the inputs and what the expected outcomes ought to be and not however the program arrives at those outputs. Tester does not examine the code and doesn't want any further data of the program apart from its specifications. Black box testing is an alternative to white box technique. Benefits of black box testing are  The check is unbiased...

Software Testing Overview

...Software Testing What is testing? Testing is the process of evaluating a system or its component(s) with the intent to find that whether it satisfies the specified requirements or not. This activity results in the actual, expected and difference between their results. In simple words testing is executing a system in order to identify any gaps, errors or missing requirements in contrary to the actual desire or requirements. Who does testing? It depends on the process and the associated stakeholders of the project(s). In the IT industry, large companies have a team with responsibilities to evaluate the developed software in the context of the given requirements. Moreover, developers also conduct testing which is called Unit Testing. In most cases, following professionals are involved in testing of a system within their respective capacities: Software Tester Software Developer Project Lead/Manager End User When to Start Testing? An early start to testing reduces the cost, time to rework and error free software that is delivered to the client. However in Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) testing can be started from the Requirements Gathering phase and lasts till the deployment of the software. However it also depends on the development model that is being used. For example in Water fall model formal testing is conducted in the Testing phase, but in incremental model, testing is performed at the end of every increment/iteration and at the end the whole application is tested.
