How is black box testing different from client acceptance testing?
Black box testing focuses on evaluating a system's functionality without knowing its internal structure, while client acceptance testing ensures the system meets the client's specific requirements and expectations before final approval.

What is the disadvantage of black box testing?
Without clear functional specifications, test cases are difficult to implement. It is difficult to execute the test cases because of complex inputs at different stages of testing. Sometimes, the reason for the test failure cannot be detected.
