When water's edges curve upward in a test - tube, it's because water molecules are attracted to the glass (a different substance), which is adhesion. Cohesion is the attraction between like substances. When a liquid forms a low dome at the top of a test - tube, it's due to the cohesive forces between the water molecules themselves.
