there r 3types of testing methodologies :

business requirement based test methosology

i/p domain based

user interfasce based

so in every project we write 80% of test cases based on business requiremets

and 15% r based on i/p domain based  and 5% r based on user interface based

From my knowledge

Software Testing Life Cycle(STLC) means the total process of Testing:

SRS,BRS,etc ->Test Planning -> Test Case Preparation (following baseline application/Usecase) -> Aproving of Test cases from the higher person -> Test Case Execution -> Defect Handling -> End

but the testing methodolies means the methods we r following for testing including planning and test case preparation based on Business requirement specifications , User interface and enironment

I think Testing methodologies are method of testing features. Methods that you used to test that feature. If you were interviewed for a Tester position, you could say you used functional testing, installation/uninstallation, sanity, security feature, Ad hoc, system testing, regression, performance etc. that are applicable to your application.Most of these methodoly mention above are common to all application so you should be ok. You just need to elaborate if they ask you to, what means what and relate that to your application.The answer you gave is a STLC.STLC has six phases.(Software Testing Life Cycle)1)Planning ---- Test planning inclides everything....2) Designing---- Writing test cases.3)Executating.--- Executating test cases.(Implementation).4)Result. documentation.-- Pass fail result document5)Defect generation.-- if fail write defect.6) Reporting.--- Report the defect.If I am wrong please correct me.
