“White-box” isn’t an obvious antonym in the sense I think you want.

I actually checked Wikipedia before using the term, since I had the same thought as you, but "white-box testing" seems to be the most popular term (it's the title of the article and used throughout) in preference to "clear box testing" and a bunch of others that are in parenthesis under "also known as".

Right, sorry. I was so sure that I’d have heard the term before if it existed, and that you invented the term yourself, it never occurred to me to check. Well, you learn something new every day :)
