When Start or Stop Testing?


    Start Testing-When?
  • Testing starts right from the requirements phase and continues till the end of SDLC
  • Objective of starting early: Requirements related defects caught later in the SDLC result in higher cost to fix the defect.

    Stop Testing – When?
  • Test cases executed with acceptable percentage of defects
  • Project Deadlines e.g. release deadlines, testing deadlines
  • Test budget has run out
  • Coverage of code, functionality or requirements reaches to specific point.
  • Bug rate falls below acceptable level
  • Beta and Alpha testing has been completed
