Testing objectives include
1. Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding an error.
2. A good test case is one that has a high probability of finding an as yet undiscovered error.
3. A successful test is one that uncovers an as yet undiscovered error.
Testing should systematically uncover different classes of errors in a
minimum amount of time and with a minimum amount of effort. A secondary
benefit of testing is that it demonstrates that the software appears to
be working as stated in the specifications. The data collected through
testing can also provide an indication of the software's reliability
and quality. But, testing cannot show the absence of defect -- it can
only show that software defects are present.
