Can any one explain me what is difference between Test
Methodology and Testing Techniques?

Answer Posted / girika

I think Test methodology and test techniques are the same.
There are 2 types of methodologies or techniques used in
software testing.
1.Static Techniques: this technique involves in the manual
examination of code or the project.
eg:reviews,walk through inspection etc
Reviews is done entirley as an manual activity such as
review of requirements,test spefication,test plan.test
scripts etc.
There is an early detetction of defects prior to execution.

2.Dynamic tecniques:These techniques require in the
execution of software.
The techniques used are 1.Black box testing:testing the
functionality of a system or a component without the
knowledge of internal code of the application.
common Techniques used for black box testing are:
1.Boundary values analysis
2.equivalence class partiotioning
3.Error guessing

2.White box testing:testing the application with the know
ledge of internal code of the system or Appliaction.Its a
structured based testing
1.Component level testing:testing the structure of the code
ie statments,braches and decisions
2.Integration level:testing how individual modules call
each other when they are combined or intergrated.
Typically done by the developers

3.Grey box testing:Combination of both Black Box testing
and white box testing

Hope this helps....please let me know if am wrong...
