I think better to stick with white box testing, and only use black box testing approach when that is a specific requirement - to fit in better with go convention, and make it more familiar for contributors.

Please, what are we expected to do on this issue?

@treasurechristain this is only a discussion on what we should prefer for the future, there's no specific outcome for this yet.

@jpkrohling Yes, I go with the white box testing because the need to test the integral path of the system/app is very necessary. It will give us the insight of how the system works and the interior components of the system, thereby w=you will be able to dictate bugs/error easily.

But adopt black box testing when a specific evaluation is needed.
