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)

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..

Could some one tell me test cases for multi line text boxes like Notes field?
hi all I have an overall experience of 12 years working in an EDP setup(worked in a manufacturing setup in a German MNC). On my request, I was relieved from my duties in Sep 06 for maternity reasons. However I would like to pursue a career in a software organization as a manual tester. I obtained my proficiency certificate in Software Testing from STAG SOFTWARE LIMITED 2 months ago i.e in May and would now like to continue working in this field. However I am unable to find a job until now. If anybody knows of a opening at bangalore, kindly let me know.
They showed me a Web page containing 3 text boxes labeled as Name, D.O.B & Blood Group.It also have 3 Buttons as OK, CANCEL,Reset. They told me that 1) when you click on OK it'll route you to the next page and save the data in the database. 2) When you click on CANCEL it'll route you to the previous page. 3) When you click on Reset it'll clears all the entries made by you. Now they asked me to write Test cases to test the functionality of that web page & asked me to write 1 critical test case after which they will give final go ahead to test the rest of the application... I wasn't able to write the critical test case. Plz answer.
