Topic: How can it be known when to stop testing?

Message

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
