它们都是不同的技术来达到相同的结果，所以问题是在什么时候使用哪一种。

If you are using a framework or library which you do not have access to the source code and you want to change some behaviors of a class, so you have to go for Template Method. That means inheritance simply. If you are developing a class and it is obvious that some parts of the logic needs to be implemented differently to handle various situations, take the Strategy pattern. Strategy is more SOLID than the Template Method. It covers both Dependency Inversion and Open/Close principles. So it is extendable and also easily testable. If you are developing a class and you do not know what changes will happen in the future, divide your logic into separate and single responsible functions as much as possible. Just that. (Neither Template Method nor Strategy).

策略公开为接口，模板方法公开为抽象类。这通常在框架中被大量使用。 如。 Spring框架的MessageSource类是用于解析消息的策略接口。客户端使用该接口的特定实现(策略)。

和相同接口AbstractMessageSource的抽象实现，AbstractMessageSource具有解析消息的通用实现，并公开了resolveCode()抽象方法，以便子类可以以自己的方式实现它们。AbstractMessageSource是模板方法的一个例子。

http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/4.1.7.RELEASE/javadoc-api/org/springframework/context/support/AbstractMessageSource.html

模板模式类似于策略模式。这两种模式在范围和方法上有所不同。

策略用于允许调用者改变整个算法，比如如何计算不同类型的税，而模板方法用于改变算法中的步骤。因此，策略的粒度更粗。模板允许在操作序列中进行细粒度的控制，但允许这些细节的实现有所不同。

另一个主要区别是策略使用委托，而模板方法使用继承。在Strategy中，算法被委托给主题将引用的另一个xxxStrategy类，但在Template中，您可以继承基类并重写方法来进行更改。

从http://cyruscrypt.blogspot.com/2005/07/template-vs-strategy-patterns.html

模板方法模式善于阐明算法的整体步骤，而策略模式适合灵活性和可重用性，因此如果需要，可以将策略组合在一起，例如:jdk8中的许多功能接口，如Comparator.reversed().那么比较(Comparator)是策略的一个角色。

模板方法模式侧重于更高的内聚性，而策略模式则与上下文对象松散耦合以分离关注点。

策略易于维护，因为上下文不知道具体的策略，无论主要算法在上下文中发生什么变化都不会影响策略。另一方面，如果在抽象模板类中改变算法的框架，可能会影响其子类的升级。

You probably mean template method pattern. You are right, they serve very similar needs. I would say it is better to use template method in cases when you have a "template" algorithm having defined steps where subclasses override these steps to change some details. In case of strategy, you need to create an interface, and instead of inheritance you are using delegation. I would say it is a bit more powerful pattern and maybe better in accordance to DIP - dependency inversion principles. It is more powerful because you clearly define a new abstraction of strategy - a way of doing something, which does not apply to template method. So, if this abstraction makes sense - use it. However, using template method may give you simpler designs in simple cases, which is also important. Consider which words fit better: do you have a template algorithm? Or is the key thing here that you have an abstraction of strategy - new way of doing something

模板方法的例子:

Application.main()
{
Init();
Run();
Done();
}

这里你继承了application，并替换了init, run和done的操作。

策略的例子:

array.sort (IComparer<T> comparer)

在这里，当编写比较器时，您不继承数组。数组将比较算法委托给比较器。

模板模式:

模板方法是关于让子类重新定义算法的某些步骤，而不改变基类中定义的算法的主要结构和步骤。 模板模式通常使用继承，因此可以在基类中提供算法的泛型实现，如果需要，子类可以选择覆盖它。

public abstract class RobotTemplate {
    /* This method can be overridden by a subclass if required */
    public void start() {
        System.out.println("Starting....");
    }

    /* This method can be overridden by a subclass if required */
    public void getParts() {
        System.out.println("Getting parts....");
    }

    /* This method can be overridden by a subclass if required */
    public void assemble() {
        System.out.println("Assembling....");
    }

    /* This method can be overridden by a subclass if required */
    public void test() {
        System.out.println("Testing....");
    }

    /* This method can be overridden by a subclass if required */
    public void stop() {
        System.out.println("Stopping....");
    }

    /*
     * Template algorithm method made up of multiple steps, whose structure and
     * order of steps will not be changed by subclasses.
     */
    public final void go() {
        start();
        getParts();
        assemble();
        test();
        stop();
    }
}


/* Concrete subclass overrides template step methods as required for its use */
public class CookieRobot extends RobotTemplate {
    private String name;

    public CookieRobot(String n) {
        name = n;
    }

    @Override
    public void getParts() {
        System.out.println("Getting a flour and sugar....");
    }

    @Override
    public void assemble() {
        System.out.println("Baking a cookie....");
    }

    @Override
    public void test() {
        System.out.println("Crunching a cookie....");
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
}

注意在上面的代码中，go()算法步骤总是相同的，但是子类可能为执行特定步骤定义不同的配方。

策略模式:

策略模式是指让客户端在运行时选择具体的算法实现。所有算法都是隔离且独立的，但是实现了一个公共接口，并且没有在算法中定义特定步骤的概念。

/**
 * This Strategy interface is implemented by all concrete objects representing an
 * algorithm(strategy), which lets us define a family of algorithms.
 */
public interface Logging {
    void write(String message);
}

/**
 * Concrete strategy class representing a particular algorithm.
 */
public class ConsoleLogging implements Logging {

    @Override
    public void write(String message) {
        System.out.println(message); 
    }

}

/**
 * Concrete strategy class representing a particular algorithm.
 */
public class FileLogging implements Logging {

    private final File toWrite;

    public FileLogging(final File toWrite) {
        this.toWrite = toWrite;
    }

    @Override
    public void write(String message) {
        try {
            final FileWriter fos = new FileWriter(toWrite);
            fos.write(message);
            fos.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }

}
