In auditing we call it "black box" test. You run data through and see that the results are what is expected.

Black box testing for software cannot detect backdoors which the author has deliberately concealed from such testing. Anyone who thinks that such testing protects against insider attacks is at best naive.

How would someone gain access to an isolated machine in order to access the backdoor?
