Hi Kusmila,

For both of your queries on testing concepts there is a detailed Wiki.
Please go through the links you will get to know in-detail.

Equivalence Partitioning:
Equivalence partitioning is a software testing related technique with the goal:
   1. To reduce the number of test cases to a necessary minimum.
   2. To select the right test cases to cover all possible scenarios.

For more details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_partitioning 

Boundary value analysis:
Boundary value analysis is a software testing design technique to determine test cases covering off-by-one errors. The boundaries of software component input ranges are areas of frequent problems.
