Whitebox Testing requires resources who are familiar with Programming Languages as this type of testing involves in understanding the code and fixing any bugs if any. This has internal perspective and have to go deep into the code structure to perform the testing.
Whereas, Black box testing does not require any knowledge on programming and they do not look at the code as this test can be performed by anyone or even by a layman without his knowledge though.


I guess this might be the reason behind White box Testing to be expensive.
