In software engineering, white box, in contrast to a black box, is a subsystem whose internals are visible to view, but usually cannot be altered. This is useful during white box testing, where a system is examined to make sure that it fulfills its requirements.
In computer hardware, a white box is a personal computer assembled from off-the-shelf parts. The term is applied to systems assembled by small systems integrators, and to homebuilt computer systems assembled by end users from parts purchased separately at retail. With standardization of form factors and connectors, a whole range of cases, motherboards, CPUs, hard disk drives, RAM and other parts can be obtained individually at many computer shops and assembled at home with a minimum of tools and technical skill.
