Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Statement S₁ is false because white-box testing uses internal code structure, not specifications. Statement S₂ is false because black-box testing relies on external specifications rather than code implementation. Statement S₃ is true as alpha testing occurs at the developer's site with skilled testers. Therefore, statements S₁ and S₂ are false.
