Domain testing 云里雾里的概念

最近在学习软件测试用例的设计方法，发现Domain testing的概念还模糊阿。有的说是白盒测试的一种方法，有的说是黑盒测试的一种方法，难煞了我这个初学者。

Domain testing概念1：领域测试，是指测试人员对相关领域有特别深厚的经验，因此能针对性的设计高质量的用例。

Domain testing概念2：出处在http://www.mathematik.uni-ulm.de/~melzer/thesis/node19.html 中,原文摘录如下:

The last important white box testing  method discussed here is domain testing. The goal is to check values taken by a variable, a condition, or an index, and to prove that they are outside the specified or valid range. It also contains checking that the program acepts only valid input , because it is unlikely to get reasonable results if idiocy has been entered. Colloquially, this part can be called ``garbage in -- garbage out'' testing. 

 

Domain testing概念3：出处在http://www.testingeducation.org/k04/documents/bbst5_2005.pdf中,原文摘录如下:

我的理解,粗粗看了一下,Domain testing 是关于输入域和输出域是否合法的一种测试方法,应该是黑盒测试的一种.
