Hi All,

I Think whatever is mentioned here under the different testing methodologies actually they are process models, as CMM levels, IEEE, i think testing methodologies & strategy are basically classified in to following category

Black Box Testing

White Box Testing

Grey Testing ( Back Testing)

let me know if i am wrong

Thanks

Hi all,

Testing methodology contains the way, the entire testing process is going on.
it also describe testing life cycle.
1. Analyse the requirement
2. Create test plan
3. assign module to testing team
4. create test cases
5. test application
6. track the defects
7. logg the defects.
8. report defects.?

To prepare test cases we use different testing techniques like-
Black box
White box
Grey box
Red box etc.

so all i can say what testing approach you are aplying in your project is methodology

With Best Regards,

I am Kavitha, working in Calsoft Chennai as QA. Would like to correct the answer for the Testing methodologies.
According to me testing methodologies are not the test strategy or the process models like CMM, IEEE etc .
It is of different types like

1.Boundary value Analysis
2.Equivalence partioning
3.Error guessing
4.Cause effect analysis
5.Decision table

Using the above mentioned methodologies we can give the best test cases .

As per my knowledge, the testing methodologies are Black Box, White Box and Gray box.

BVA, Equilance Partition, Error guessing, etc., those are test case techniques not methodologies.

Please let me know, if I am wrong.

Thanks,
Srinivas

The Test Methodologies are refinement of Test Strategy.

Black box testing
White box testing
Grey Box testing
Red box testing

these are the Testing TECHNIQUES & not Methodologies.
