Answer / nirmal anand
we can stop testing when test coverage is 100%. when there
are no defects found in the build. and also by traecability
matrix.(prepared by test lead)

1. When there is no time and budget
2. When maximum number of test cases are executed
3. All the Requirements are mapped that is RTM is filled

4. When Test coverage is > 80%
5. when bug rate falls below certain level

Answer / chandni
There are various points which we can consider to decide
that we have tested enough.
1. When the system is highly stable and no errors are
found .
2. When certain amount of test cases are run then
there is no error found that time we can say that we have
tasted enough
3. Probability of finding errors is lace then
4. When all the test cases are run
But we can not consider the deadline and budget depleted
part over here because this question defines that when we
think that we have tested enough not when to stop testing.

Answer / parul gupta
Testing is potentially endless. We can not test till all
the defects are unearthed and removed -- it is simply
impossible. At some point, we have to stop testing and ship
the software. The question is when.
Realistically, testing is a trade-off between budget, time
and quality. It is driven by profit models. The
pessimistic, and unfortunately most often used approach is
to stop testing whenever some, or any of the allocated
resources -- time, budget, or test cases -- are exhausted.
The optimistic stopping rule is to stop testing when either
reliability meets the requirement, or the benefit from
continuing testing cannot justify the testing cost. This
will usually require the use of reliability models to
evaluate and predict reliability of the software under
test. Each evaluation requires repeated running of the
following cycle: failure data gathering -- modeling --
prediction. This method does not fit well for ultra-
dependable systems, however, because the real field failure
data will take too long to accumulate

Answer / p.s. krishna mohan
As you all say, it depends on time, but not budget and also
mainfactor is that it depends on base criteria. When
acceptance criteria is met we can feel like we had enough
testing. When it reaches acceptance criteria means when
all the test cases that are developed basedon customer
requirements are passed we can say that we have tested
enough.

It depends upon..
1) The TestCases prepared from the UseCase which cover's
all the features/functionality of SUT.
2) When the error rate is very low.
(And ofcourse Time and Budget as All Say). Actually it
depends, how they prepare the plan's for their project..

Answer / amardeep kumar
The decision that when to stop testing or we have tested
enough depends on the Budget and available time for the
project.

First Name & Last Name fields are there in the application form, In Application First name & last name fields accepts the numerical value 453455 & special characters $%#$% .

Let's me know the answer.
