  2. Equivalance partitioning
  3. Decision table
  4. Error class
  5. Cause efect diagram (Fish-Bone diagram)
  6. Various coverages (Statement cov.,path cov., loop cov.,condition coverage, etc.)
  7. cyclomatic complexity.

Test methodology is the approach of testing. i.e by which means we are going to test a component. it may be manual or automation using tools.
