ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Structural testing

Hello! Today I am going to explain to you what structural testing is in very simple terms, like you are 5 years old. So, let's get started!

Structural testing is a kind of testing where we look at the inside structure of something to check if it works properly. It's like when you look inside a toy to see how it works.

For example, let's imagine we have a cake. We want to make sure this cake is good to eat. So, we cut the cake and look inside to make sure it is baked properly and there are no insects or strange things inside. This is like structural testing.

Similarly, when people make software or programs, we want to make sure they work properly. So, we use structural testing to check if the inside structure is good.

We do this by looking at the codes that make up the software or program, and checking if they follow proper rules and logic. It's like checking if all the toy parts are put together properly.

By doing this structural testing, we can find any mistakes or problems in the software or program and fix them so that it works better.

So, that is what structural testing means. We look at the inside structure of something to make sure it works properly. I hope you understand now!
