Boundary value analysis and equivalence partitioning both are Black box techniques.

In BVA we chech the boundary values i.e exact boundary values less than boundary values and values which exceeds boundary.

In equivalence partitioning technique we check alphanumeric characters i.e. combination of words and numbers.

Equivalence partion:

This method divides the input domain of a program into classes
of data from which test cases can be derived.
The idea is to represents a set of valid or invalid states for input conditions.

In Layman terms :

1) If their is a input conditions which specifies a range, we can divide it as one valid and two invalid values

2) if an input conditon requires a specific value, then we can have one valid and two invalid values.

Boundary value Analysis:

It is done to test the boundaries of a input.

Ex:

if we have a range 1- 10.
We should check the values between 1- 10
We should check the value 0
We should also check the value 11

So ideally its testing the boundaries in a given range.
