Answer / chandu

These are company level documents handled by the quality
analyst.

Test stratergy is performed to estimate the cost,testing
factors,plans,designs,Audit trial,co-existense of
software,service levels,maintainance etc.

Test methodology is the refinement of test stratergy where
the project manager will decided what test factors need to
be applied on the project.

In test methodology depending on the project type the
testing is decided.
There are three project types:
1)Traditional : Coding and Testing.
2)Offshore or outsource project: Only system testing.
3)Maintainance : Maintainance will be done.
