how much testing is enough.and why documentation is needed

Answer Posted / priyanka

It totally depends on the exit criteria.
There are 7 exit criteria' s to stop testing
1. As soon as the release time is achieved
2. As soon as the budget is exhausted
3. When all of the planned testing is achieved with no major
pending issues
4. When the residual risk is minimal with no major pending
issues
5. When certain percentage of coverage is achieved in terms
of requirements/code/risks with no major pending issues.
It is also called thoroughness messure.
6. When predicted no. of defects are found with no more
major pending issues.
7. Based on testing, sufficient info is generated &share
with stake holders in letting them decide abt release.


DOCUMENTATION is necessary because
1. Maintaining documentation we can check the process.
2. find the defects easily.
3. requirements can be mapped.and can check whether each and
every req has been covered or not.
4. If defects are documented we can test whether the defect
functionality has been fixed properly.
5. In future if we get any project related to the same
domain we can use the metrics, also we will know which
module has to be concentrated the most

I know functional test cases are derived from frs and system design specs. But are test cases for performance, database, boundary, relational integrity and other types of tests other than functional tests created from frs and system design specs as well? When are these test cases created? Are they in the same test plans alongside functional test cases or is their a different test plan that includes these test cases?
