Testing methodology is a general document or procedure 
followed by an organistaion for the testing 
department.Example object oriented methodology,Structural 
methodology etc.They will specify the general testing 
techniques for projects.This mentodologies might be talored 
from spiral or waterfall methodologies

Testing technice are applicable for a single project.It 
will change from project to project.This testing techniques 
can describe in test plan.It will mention what types ot 
testing ,needs to be done like sanity testing,smoking 
testing,regression testing etc.

There is no difrrence between testing methodology & testing 
techniques

U can called Black Box & White box testing are defferent 
methodology or techniques of testing


Please correct me if i am wrong

testing methodolgy is nothing but wwhether testing follows 
standars or not?/

testing policy is nothing but what factors 2 test

Testing methodologies are white box testing and black box 
testing
testing technics are nothing but types of testing like
functionality testing ,performance testing, UAT based on 
the application to test.

test methodology nothing but wht methods we using to done
the testing ie static and dynamic 

testing techniques nothing but BVA , ECP , STATE TRANSISION

White Box and Black Box are  the Testing MEthodologies .
While the Testing Techniques are
For White Box:
Statement Coverage, Condition Coverage, Decision Coverage.
For Black Box:
Boundary value analysis, Equivalence Partitioning,Error 
Guessing

testing methodologies  its nothing but the process to 
follow water fall model  or v-model and coming to testing 
types are black box testing and white box testing.and 
further black box testing techniques are 
1.boundry value analysis
2.equvivalence partition
3. error guessing.

hi does any1 know what is the difference between Branch and 
decision coverage to me they both seem same

Testing Methodologies: Software Methodologies are not
restricted to testing, basically they are defined at project
level. The defined methodology for any software project
would be applicable to complete software development life cycle.
Some of the Methodologies I am aware of are:
1. Rapid Application Development aka RAD
2. Spiral model aka prototyping
3. V-model 
4. Waterfall model
5. Agile Methodology - one of the most popular methodology
now a days in various organizations.

Testing Techniques: Testing techniques are the approaches
used for writing test cases / test plans and execute them.
The following testing techniques are widely user for
preparing test cases and doing adhoc testing:
1. Equivalence partitioning
2. Boundary Value Analysis
3. Cause-Effect Graphing

In my technical interview i have asked to tell what type of
testing technique you are using.i said thereis no such
technique we are using porticularly.then he asked me if i will
give you to test a password which can carry upto 6 charecters
the how you will test it.i told him i will aplly boundary
value analysis.he agreed and asked me under which technique
it is coming.then i realised it is coming under BLACK BOX
TESING TECHNIQUE.so surely 
TESTING TECHNIQUE
        1 BLACK BOX
        2 WHITE BOX
        3 GREY BOX
TESTING METODS
  FOR BLACK BOX
        1 Equivalence partitioning
        2 Boundary Value Analysis
  FOR WHITE BOX
        1 STATEMENT COVERAGE
        2 BRANCH COVERAGE
        3 PATH COVERAGE
        4 CONDITION COVERAGE

if anybody know it better please clarify and mail me.bye

TEsting methology means methos of testing they are
black box testing
white boxtesting
grey box testing

testing technics are
smoke testing
sanity testing
regression testing
stress testing
sql testing
database connection testing
one of the most important testing is
system integration testing

Diff levels of testing are
unit
Regression
Integration
SIT
UAT
