Before ask this question, let us try to answer another question
Is Complete Testing Possible?
Obviously No :)
To prove that a program is completely free of defects is practically impossible and theoritically MAMMOTH exercise. Hence the conclusion is to provide a suitable, convincing demo that the application/software has been tested enough.
Some of the STOP CRITERIAS are
· Time runs out (POOR Criteria..!!)
· Resources run out
· Testing stops when all test cases execute without producing any error
· Testing stops when certain number of errors are found
· Testing stops when all statements and all branches are executed and all test cases execute without failure
· Testing stops when the result is unproductive ie., No. of errors per person day reduces
