我建议你读一下这篇文章。它解释了一个实际案例的差异。

"As one can see implementing classes also depend upon the template method class. This dependency causes to change the template method if one wants to change some of the steps of the algorithm. On the other side strategy completely encapsulates the algorithm. it gives the implementing classes to completely define an algorithm. Therefore if any change arrives one does need to change the code for previously written classes. This was the primary reason I choose strategy for designing up the classes. One feature of template method is that template method controls the algorithm. Which can be a good thing in other situation but in my problem this was restricting me to design the classes. On the other side strategy does not control the steps of an algorithm which enables me to add completely different conversion methods. Hence in my case strategy helps me for implementation. One drawback of strategy is that there is too much code redundancy and less code sharing. As it is obvious in the presented example of this article I have to repeat the same code in four classes again and again. Therefore it is hard to maintain because if the implementation of our system such as step 4 which is common to all is changed then I will have to update this in all 5 classes. On the other side, in template method, I can only change the superclass and the changes are reflected into the sub classes. Therefore template method gives a very low amount of redundancy and high amount of code sharing among the classes. Strategy also allows changing the algorithm at run-time. In template method one will have to re-initialize the object. This feature of strategy provide large amount of flexibility. From design point of view one has to prefer composition over inheritance. Therefore using strategy pattern also became the primary choice for development."

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。

我认为这两种模式的类图显示了差异。

两者的主要区别在于具体算法的选择。

对于Template方法模式，这是在编译时通过子类化模板实现的。每个子类通过实现模板的抽象方法提供不同的具体算法。当客户端调用模板外部接口的方法时，模板会根据需要调用它的抽象方法(内部接口)来调用算法。

class ConcreteAlgorithm : AbstractTemplate
{
    void DoAlgorithm(int datum) {...}
}

class AbstractTemplate
{
    void run(int datum) { DoAlgorithm(datum); }

    virtual void DoAlgorithm() = 0; // abstract
}

相反，策略模式允许在运行时通过包含来选择算法。具体算法由单独的类或函数实现，这些类或函数作为参数传递给策略的构造函数或setter方法。为这个参数选择哪种算法可以根据程序的状态或输入动态变化。

class ConcreteAlgorithm : IAlgorithm
{
    void DoAlgorithm(int datum) {...}
}

class Strategy
{
    Strategy(IAlgorithm algo) {...}

    void run(int datum) { this->algo.DoAlgorithm(datum); }
}

总而言之:

模板方法模式:通过子类化来选择编译时算法 策略模式:通过包容选择运行时算法

策略设计模式

支持组成。 为您提供在运行时更改对象行为的灵活性。 减少客户端代码和解决方案/算法代码之间的耦合。

模板方法设计模式

更喜欢继承而不是组合 在基类中定义算法。算法的各个部分可以在子类中定制。

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。
