Boundary Testing means just what it says,testing the boundaries.

eg. Say you are testing a particular input field where you enter Date for a particular functionality which says dates should be accepted only until Jan 1,2011 through Jan 31,2011. So you wil be testing that the input field should be accepting only the dates in between.Your testing would involve that the particular field does not accept dates after Jan 31,2011 and prior to Jan 1,2011 and should accept all the dates in between and the start and the end date(ofcourse looking at the functional documents)

I agree with Sarega99s response. Questions like this one are better answered with a real world, or practical example. In fact, effective boundary testing will focus on both inner boundaries (e.g., 01/01/2011 - 01/31/2011) and external boundaries (i.e., Date < 01/01/2011 and > 01/31/2011).

Another example: If you have a pay level and a salary range for that level, say the minimum salary is $1,000.00 and the max salary is $3,550.99 bi-weekly, you have [1,000.00 , 3,550.99]. While you test values between $1,000.00 and $3,550.99 (valid salaries entries), youll also text outer boundaries, i.e., your scripts will verify that no salary outside of the above boundaries is entered. Thus any salary <1,000.00 or >$3,550.99 will trigger an exception.

Boundary Testing, the name is defining its meaning. Testing both the acceptable and unacceptable values for both inner and outer boundary values.
For eg., a user need to enter his age, that is limited to 20 and 30, the boundary testing includes:
19,21 - inner boundaries
29,31 - outer boundaries.
