He means "Inter-Process Communication". Some other program calls your program, or vice versa.

So if you have a program that is supposed to check a web service in a couple ways, you get some other second program to call yours with the various inputs needed, and then you have that second one check the output it got from each way you called the service.

It's called "black-box testing". See my other reply.
