user57832: I sent bitcoins to an address and blockcypher says the transaction is done but as I try to learn the balance using  bitcoin-cli -testnet getbalance <address>, the address hasn't received yet. So why can't the address receive bitcoins even now?
I really don't know why I can't get bitcoins.
Obviously, as blockcypher says I sent some bitcoins to the address from other my address and blockcypher says that the transactions were confirmed.

user59146: You can query the balance only of address you own.

I sent bitcoins to an address and blockcypher says the transaction has
  done but as I try to know the balance using bitcoin-cli -testnet getbalance the address, the address hasn't received yet.So why
  couldn't the address receive bitcoins or couldn't I send ?

The getbalance RPC method(and related bitcoin-cli command) accept two arguments, first is a string and it isn't an address, it's an account name, second is a confirmation coint To get the balance of whole wallet use: 
bitcoin-cli -testnet getbalance

Or use getreceivedbyaddress:
bitcoin-cli -testnet getreceivedbyaddress 'the address' 0
