Start Criteria for Testing

 

We have to meet some criteria before starting the testing phase in SDLC. They are,

1. We can start functional testing once the partial code or full product is ready
2. The code has passed the unit tests or smoke test.
3. We can start System testing once the code has successfully completed the integration testing, unit testing.
4. We can start unit testing once the code review has been completed successfully.

Stop Criteria for Testing

The following criteria’s are necessary to exit the testing process,

1.When we executed all the test cases  without producing any error
2.If testing depends on any other tools/methods to proceed further.
3.When test coverage is completed
4.When budget is over
5.When the bugs left over are of low priority
