Answer / techie
The following are few of the common Test Stop criteria:
- All the high priority bugs are fixed.
- The rate at which bugs are found is too small.
- The testing budget is exhausted.
- The project duration is completed.
- The risk in the project is under acceptable limit.
Practically, the decision of stopping testing is based on
the level of the risk acceptable to the management. As
testing is a never ending process, we can never assume that
100 % testing has been done, we can only minimize the risk
of shipping the product to client with testing done.

The team/I feel that 'stop testing now' in the following contexts,
1.When there does not exist any functional bug/defect
2.When Schedule or resource crunch occurs
3.when schedule reached as per the test plan
4.when new requirements are arising and supposed to make changes to test specifications.
5.When test environment needs an Update for newer version of software's or a Client requirement to change of environment
6.When new build of product under development is ready to test-version
7.When test requirement and aim/goal of the testing is achieved as per the test plan.
There may exist other reasons to as per the market requirements and trends in the development process.
