MT - 58 - When to stop the testing ?

Testing is a never ending process , we can't stop the testing saying that we have tested every thing and the system is defect free. There is always a possibility for defects ,it may be masked or latent.
There are some industry constraints on which we decide that we should stop or hold the testing :

-> Test execution has been completed with a certain number of passed cases so that test coverage is achieved.

-> There are no known critical bugs.Bug rate falls below a certain level, now testers are not getting any priority 1, 2, or 3 bugs.

-> Coverage of code, functionality, or requirements reaches a specified point.

-> Stop the Testing when deadlines like release deadlines or testing deadlines is very near

-> When the time allocated to the test team is expired and client doesn't wants the date to be extended.

-> When the allocated budget comes to an end.

-> Stop the Testing when the period of beta testing / alpha testing gets over.
