How much testing is enough?


When we go market to buy a product, which product would you like to buy, a completed tested or a partially tested. No body wants to have a partially or no tested product. But is it possible to test the whole product? Let’s understand this with a login page example; a login page has generally two textboxes, one for user name and other for password. Now, if you have given 2 valid username and password to test then you can try entering both and can test the application. But what if you have thousands of username and password? Are you going to test the system with each and every username and password?

Exhaustive testing is impossible, but we can always try to design our test cases in such a way that they are as per time, budget and other technical aspects of the product.
