Answer / manasa

testing methodology is nothing but the way we are testing
like white box, gray box and black box.

and testing techinques are those which we use to prepare
test cases like equivalence class partitioning, boundary
value analysis, cause-effect graphing and error guesing.

pls tell me if i am wrong

Answer / deya

You're right with the techniques, I just will add the All-
Pairs algorithm to have the basics, but this one is less
used.

About the methodology, this is how you will execute your
testing process, maybe using a V model or Extreme Testing,
or RUP or any other.

What you describe in methodology are more testing types,
and it also include system testing, performance, unit, etc
etc etc.

I have read a lot of testing authors, and may of them
disagree between techniques, methodologies or testing
types. Right now, there is not any information source to
align all the testng concepts..

Answer / bharath

Hi All,
I have been going in circles with the same issue for over 2
years now. The more I try to sort it, the more confusing it
gets. I am surprised at the fact that in-spite of so many
advancements in testing, it is tough to find a clear
separation.
However I think the problem here is that the question is
incomplete. It should be, "What is difference between
testing methods, testing types, testing levels,Testing
approach and testing techniques?"

Answer:

* Testing methodology :Verification and Validation. (Some
one please add more methods to this)

* Testing approach: TopDown, BottomUp and RiskBased testing

* Testing types : static and dynamic, which can be
classified into structural(white box), functional(black box)
testing and Grey Box Testing

* Testing Technique :

- White box testing Techniques:
1) loop coverage
2)statement coverage
3) condition coverage
4) decision coverage
- Black box testing Techniques :
1) Equilance partioning
2)boundary value analysis
3) error guessing

* Testing Levels :
1 Unit Testing
2 Integration Testing
3 System Testing
4 System Integration Testing
5 Regression Testing
6 Acceptance testing
7 Alpha testing
8 Beta testing

Please let me know if this is correct/incorrect.

Anybody please answer this question...I am very much confused!!!

Answer / kaminee

Test Methodology is a 3 step process:
1. Creating Test Strategy
2. Creating Test Plan/Design
3. Execution of Test Cases.

Test Technique is way we use to prepare
test cases:
1.Like equivalence class partitioning
2.boundary value analysis
3.cause-effect graphing
4.error guesing.

Answer / suju

Actually , I dont know.

Answer / chandpasha

Testing Methadology is nothing but the which methadology we
are using for the software development like Water fall
model,V model,spiral model,prototype model,RAD model.

Testing technique describes what type of techniques we are
using for testing like white box testing which is done by
Developers, Black box testing (Manual testing), gray box
testing etc.

Iam I correct please share your suggestions.

Answer / jyothinapa

Test Methodology":
testing methodology is a document prepared by the project
manager(PM).this document consists os the scope and budjet
allocation of the project.and testers detailes and their
responsibilities .and also about automations,and defect
reporting and tarcking ,risks and assumptions like details
about that project.
Testing Techniques:
testing techniques are white box and black box testing
techniques.as a tester we will perform mostly blacbox
testing techniques.i.e boundary value analysis
(BVA).equalance class partitioning(ECP),Decision
tables,state transition diagrams

It will be a great help if any one will help on this issue, Three test cases got faied [TC#1, 2 and 3] and all are there in the same TestScript. For all the three failed testcases a bug is logged refrencing to the three failed testcase. In Next round of validation out of three two TC#2 and 3 got PASSED and TC#1 FAILED. I am confusssed if in this scenario if i mark the PASSED test case as PASS OR FAIl, as the the Defect will have BOTH PASS and FAIl at the same time. Please clarify How to handel this scenario.
