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.

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
$ bitcoin-cli -testnet getreceivedbyaddress mq7A3EUXa4eu3XUJeB2RjXyS75EzSkz4T2 0
=> 0.00000000
it even says that the adress has nothing – 西田龍 – 2018-01-29T09:52:27.853
Is your bitcoind fully synced? what the output of getinfo command? Also is this address owned by wallet of your bitcoind ? – Зелёный – 2018-01-29T09:58:29.690
It was synced completely.Thank you, I just found that the address wasn't valid so that I couldn't make my wallet have the address then it said the address has nothing. – 西田龍 – 2018-01-29T17:01:32.650

make sure you are passing the account name as first parameter. If no account name is passed it will show you the balance of all the address in that wallet
What is your question? – Зелёный – 2018-01-29T08:32:55.473
Sorry, my question was unclear, so in brief, I want to send bitcoins successfully – 西田龍 – 2018-01-29T08:34:12.410
It is still unclear for me. Please read https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask
