Answer / meenakshi
when bug rate falls below a certian level
when deadlines are reached
when all the testcases are passed with a certian rate of
passed testcases
when testing budget is depleted
and teamleader says to stop testing
in all these cases we stop testing
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 5 Yes | 6 No |
Some of the common factors and constraints that should be considered when decided on when to stop testing are:
1. Testing budget of the project. Or when the cost of continued testing does not justify the project cost.
2. Resouces available and their skills.
3. Project deadline and test completion deadline.
4. Critical or Key Test cases successfully completed. Certain test cases even if they fail may not be show stoppers.
5. Functional coverage, code coverage, meeting the client requirements to certain point.
6. Defect rates fall below certain specified level & High priority bugs are resolved.
7. Project progresses from Alpha, to beta and so on.
