If we classify the testing types on Tester knowledge
then the testing types are only three:
1.White Box testing
2.Black box testing
3.GrayBox Testing

White Box Testing:Means testing the application with 
coding /programming knowledge.That means the tester has to 
correct the code also.

Black box testing:testing the application without 
coding /programming knowledge that means the tester doesn't 
require coding knowledge.Just he examines the appliaction 
external fucntional beheaviour and GUI features.

Grey box testing is combination of box testing types 

There are several testing types are there:
I would like list some of the important tests:
1.System Test
2.Regression Test
3.User acceptance test
4.Unit test
5.GUI test
6.Fuactional test
7.Database test
8.Usability test
9.Intagration test
10.security test
11.Load/stress/Performance test
12.MultiBrowser Compatibilty test
13.Alpha Test
14.Beta test

The last Two test types 
i.e Alpha Test & Beta test are product based test types.

Depending on the type of application testing team chooses 
some set of test to test the application.
For example:
If the application is related to  E-commerce domain
then
the following test must conduct to ensure it's quality
1.Fuctional testing
2.Usability testing
3.Load/performance testing
4.Security testing
5.Database testing.

Testing techniques can be broadly classified into two:
1. Structural Technique
2. Functional Technique

Both of these should be performed ideally for adequate 
testing.

Structural Testing Technique: This is to uncover defects at 
the coding phase. The purpose of this is to assess the 
implementation by finding data that will force sufficient 
coverage of the structures present in the implemented 
appliccation.

Examples: Stress, Recovery, Execution, Operations, 
Compliance and Security testings. 

Functional Testing Technique: This is to uncover defects 
that occur in implementing requirements or design 
specifications. This ensures that requirements and 
specifications are achieved. 

Examples: Unit Test, Assembly and UAT.

Structural Testing is also called White box testing and 
Functional as Black Box Testing

there r two types of testings

1. Static testing 
2. Dynamic testing
