The simplest type is just two wires with a small light in the handle. Touch one lead to a ground and the other to the positive you are checking. If there is power in the contact, the light will come on. It should be around $4.

What does it mean when the circuit tester light does not come on when touching the black and white wires?

It could mean two things. The first thing would be that the tester is not working. Test on a circuit that you know to be energized. The second thing causing a tester not to light is that the circuit under test is de energized. When using these types of testers always test the black to white wire and then black to ground wire. If the tester indicates there is a voltage to ground and not the white then the neutral white wire is open somewhere in the circuit.
