There is no single answer for this question.

However, I can say the answer is a matrix.

Categories are,

User Based (Acceptance testing, Beta Testing , Alpha testing etc)
Method based (Adhoc testing, Integration testing, functional testing etc)
Technique based (BVA,Eq.Partitioning etc.)
Phase based (smoke testing, installation testing, regression testing etc)

RE: Test Categories

Grouping Tests into Test Categories: You can add an automated test to one or multiple test categories using a test attribute. Each test can belong to multiple test categories. When tests are associated with categories you can filter the tests in Test View and run them
