   How can it be known when to stop testing? 
This can be difficult to
determine. Many modern software applications are so complex, and run in
such an interdependent environment, that complete testing can never be
done. Common factors in deciding when to stop are: 
•   Deadlines (release deadlines, testing deadlines, etc.) 
•   Test cases completed with certain percentage passed 
•   Test budget depleted 
•   Coverage of code/functionality/requirements reaches a specified point 
•   Bug rate falls below a certain level 
•   Beta or alpha testing period ends
