The reply below is incorrect: CTOD is not related to cyclic stresses. Both Charpy and CTOD measure fracture toughness. However Charpy is empirical whereas CTOD is a method of measuring material toughness such that the results can be used in fracture mechanics calculations to determine the criticality of material flaws of a known size in that material and corresponding microstructure. CTOD has its notch sharpened by fatigue cracking, but that is to give a very start initiator for the test only. The specimen should be the full thickness of the component to which the test relates, and the test temperature should be the minimum design temperature.
CTOD testing is inherently more complex and is much more expensive that Charpy testing and requires laboratories which are rather more specialised than those which can perform Charpy.

Charpy test is type of test to measure the resistance of a material to shock type stresses whether in room or minus temperatures.
CTOD (Crack Tip Opening Displacement) is for measuring the resistance of material to cyclic type of stresses whether in room or minus temperatures.
So the main difference is the type of load which used during the test. So the specimens preparation and test procedures are different.
