  A general solution of the Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation was formulated
in terms of generalized fields. Recently, a superfields approach of obtaining
solutions of the Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation is also established.
Superfields formalism is usually applied to topological quantum field theories.
However, generalized fields method is suitable to find solutions of the
Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation either for topological quantum field
theories or the usual gauge theories like Yang-Mills theory. We show that by
truncating some components of superfields with appropriate actions, generalized
fields formalism of the usual gauge theories result. We demonstrate that for
some topological quantum field theories and the relativistic particle both of
the methods possess the same field contents and yield similar results. Inspired
by the observed relations we give the solution of the BV-master equation for
on-shell N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory utilizing superfields.
