what is the difference between testing methodology and
testing techniques?
Answer Posted / 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.
