The testing method described is White box testing. This approach, also known as structural or glass-box testing, requires knowledge of the internal logic, code structure, and design of the software being tested. The question specifies that test data was created to check "each logic condition within each rule." This implies the tester understands the internal programming of the query rules and is systematically testing each logical path and condition to ensure they function correctly. This is the defining characteristic of white box testing, which focuses on internal workings rather than just external outputs.

A. User box testing: This is not a standard or recognized term in software validation or clinical data management literature.

C. Black box testing: This method tests system functionality based on requirements and specifications without any knowledge of the internal code or logic.

D. T box testing: This is not a standard or recognized term used to describe a type of software testing.

Reference: Section 5.4.3, "Testing," discusses the requirement for testing to be based on pre-defined specifications and to cover the functionality being tested. While the document may not use the term "white box," testing individual logic conditions of an edit check is a form of unit/structural testing that falls under this principle, as it verifies the internal design of the check, not just its user-facing requirement.

Reference: Chapter 3, "The Tester's Role," and Chapter 8, "Code-Based Coverage," define white-box testing as a method where "the tester can see the code and designs tests to exercise the code." It explicitly mentions testing all logical decisions and paths, which directly aligns with testing "each logic condition within each rule."

Reference: Chapter 2, "Coverage Criteria," pp. 35-37. This section details structural coverage criteria, such as branch coverage and condition coverage, which are core concepts in white-box testing. Testing "each logic condition" is a direct application of these criteria, which are based on the source code's structure.
