Based on methodolgies testing is 2 types

1. Black box testing : It is type of testing in which one
can perform testing on the application without internal
structural knowledge on it.

2. White Box testing : It is type of testing in which one
can perform testing on the application with internal
structural knowledge on it.

Hai,suriii what you had given is correct.But you forgot to 
mention another type of methodology i.e 
1.Black box testing.
2.White box testing.
       3.Grey box testing: The person who has the sound 
knowledge in both Black box testing and White box testing 
then he is named as Grey box tester.

Hai, friends if any thing gets wrong from the above, Please 
intimate to me. eid is

Answers in other websites say several different thing for  
testing methodologies 

First Answer
1. Waterfall Model 
2. V Model 
3. rapid Application Devélopment 

Second Answer
Object Oriented Software Testing Methodologies 
Top to bottom Software Testing Methodologies 
Bottom to Top Software Testing Methodologies 
Heuristic Software Testing Methodologies

Third Answer
Blackbox testing
Whitebox testing
Graybox testing

Which one of these answers is correct and
If I'm asked what was the testing methodolgy followed in my 
last job...what should I say.

software testing methodology is applied in four distinct 
phases: 
1.unit testing, 
2.system testing,
3. integration testing, and 
4.acceptance testing.

Hi madhu,

I took get confused at times...
first answer is testing models.
I feel the second option is correct...
methodology is the approach we adapt to testing..in each 
approach we might include various testing methods 
3rd option is the methods or techniques.

Lets wait and see for more responses from team members.

Test methodology and approach are same.
Test methodology discusses about the test approach that 
would be required for any projects.
Say for web application,
we define the Test objective folowed with test methods,test 
team,test duration, whether to use black-box, white-box 
we discuss about the different test approach as 
browser compatability
usability 
security testing
performance testing (stress,volume,load)

hi jai,

plz correct if i am wrong...

Usability,Functional testing, security, performance
are the techniques of black box testing w.r.t to mindq 
teaching, hyd.

under usability we have UI and Manual Support Testing 

Under Functional Testing we include - functionality 
testing,input domain testing,compatibility, configuration,
recovery testing,intersystem,Installation,parallel and 
sanitation testing

Under performance we have load, stress, storage and volume 
testing

according to my understanding viz in browser 
compatability :-
Comapatability teting comes under funcationality testing 
technique. Browser compatibility is a method under 
compatibility testing, the approach to do this test is to 
test the application with different flavours of browsers...

plz pass on comments if anything wrong in my explaination.

Swati,
I won't call them techniques of black box, I would rather 
call them types of black box testing.
Techniques of black box would be
Equivalence partitioning 
Boundary value analysis 
Decision table testing 
Pairwise testing 
State transition tables 
Use case testing 
Cross-functional testing

software testing methodology is applied in four distinct 
phases: unit testing, system testing, integration testing, 
and acceptance testing.

blowing.

Thanks

testing methodolgies are: 
1. manual testing 
2. automation

Hi,

I think testing methodologies,methods and techniques all are same i.e 
1.Blackbox testing
2.Whitebox testing
3.Greybox testing

Ways of testing means 1.Manual testing
                      2.Automation testing
Pls Let me know if at all any thing wrong.

Thanks & regards
