Q. 44: Which is the best definition of complete testing:
A. You have discovered every bug in the program.
B. You have tested every statement, branch, and combination of branches in the program.
C. You have completed every test in the test plan.
D. You have reached the scheduled ship date.
I think the answer should be C. You have completed every test in the test plan.
But you have mentioned A.
How can you determine or conclude that you have discovered every bug in program?
Agreed that 44 simply CAN’T be A. I personally would say it was B, not C though. The test plan might be deficient, but if you have executed everything, that isn’t a factor. It’s possible that the question should be “worst” rather than “best”, because all 3 of the other answers could be a valid reason to stop in the right circumstances, but A is impossible to know.
@Luminos: The answer (A) is correct because complete testing, meant to say exhaustive testing is not possible. But the funda is to pick out max bugs as much as one can so as to attain near to complete testing.
