Should black box or white box testing be the emphasis for testers?

Question

Which type of testing would you say should be the emphasis (for testers/QAs), and why?

A quick set of definitions from wikipedia:

Black box testing

Answer 1

• Black box testing you dont see the system under test inner workings.
• White box testing you have full view into the system under test. Here are a few pictures showing this.

Testers need to focus on the testing pyramid. You will want to understand unit tests, integration tests, and end to end tests. Each of these can be performed both with black box and white box testing. Start small and work your way up learning the different types and when to use each. remember you cant always test everything.
