Abstract

The right answer in these cases is to ask the vendor for as much information as possible to reduce the risk in accepting this so-called replacement. First, ask for the test plans and test output so you can understand whether they tested the component in a way that relates to your use case. Just because they tested the thing doesn't mean they tested all the parts your product cares about. In fact, it's unlikely they did. They may have tested just the parts that connect back to the API, rather than the edge cases that would come up when a component is changed in your system.

什么时候黑匣子应该透明?
在这些情况下,正确的答案是要求供应商提供尽可能多的信息,以减少接受这种所谓的替换的风险。首先,询问测试计划和测试输出,这样您就可以了解他们是否以与您的用例相关的方式测试了组件。仅仅因为他们测试了这个东西并不意味着他们测试了你的产品所关心的所有部件。事实上,他们不太可能这么做。他们可能只测试了连接回API的部分,而不是在系统中更改组件时可能出现的边缘情况。
