comment How would you call on-device unit tests ?
Are you referring to diagnostics? I think of a diagnostic as a test that exists to help diagnose problems after the product has already been deployed. I think diagnostics should be spec'ed out by whoever is most likely to use the output.

comment Is a distinction between “testing” and “checking” useful?
I've never hear the "checking" term used in that way, but the concept is reasonable. I prefer the terms "positive testing" (trying to use the app) and "negative testing" (trying to break the app).

comment When is it inappropriate to use white box testing?
@testerab Thanks. I updated the text to reflect that there was also a requirement for ad-hoc reports, and that the tester was tasked specifically with testing the datamart, not the reports.
