They find different types of defect.
Using more techniques is always better
Both find the same types of defect.
Because specifications tend to be unstructured
They are mainly used to assess the structure of a specification.
They are used both to measure coverage and to design tests to increase coverage.
They are based on the skills and experience of the tester.
They use a formal or informal model of the software or component.
A table containing rules for combinations of inputs to two fields on a screen.
A table containing rules for interfaces between components.
A table containing rules for mortgage applications.
A table containing rules for chess.

100% decision coverage is achieved if statement coverage is greater than 90%.

They can find defects missed by specification-based and structure-based techniques.
They don't require any training to be as effective as formal techniques.
They can be used most effectively when there are good specifications.
They will ensure that all of the code or system is tested.
They depend on the tester's understanding of the way the system is structured rather than on a documented record of what the system should do.
They depend on having older testers rather than younger testers.
They depend on a documented record of what the system should do rather than on an individual's personal view.
They depend on an individual's personal view rather than on a documented record of what the system should do.
