There can be no end to Testing.its a continuous process.But there can be some factors influencing the span of testing process: 
1.The Exit criteria are met 
2.when project deadlines comes. 
3.when all the core functionality is tested . 
4.Test budget is depleted.

it is very difficult to determine when to stop testing as changes occur frequently in each and every phase of developement life cycle of s/w.but there shoulb an end for testing. 
In my opinion testing ends only when 
1.Bug rate falls down to certain level 
2.testing budget is over in terms of time and money. 
3.Alpha and beta tesing period expires 
4.when all the test cases are passed with certain level.

This is difficult to determine. Common factors in deciding when to stop are?  
i. Deadlines, E.g. release deadline, testing deadlines.  
ii. Test cases completed with percentage passed.  
iii. Test budget has been depleted.  
iv. Coverage of code, functionality, or requirements reaches a specified point.  
v. Bug rate falls down a certain level; or  
vi. Beta or alpha testing period ends.

When the test manager is confident that the application will perform as expected in the production environment. This confidence is derived by analysis conducted on: 
 
a)Deadlines (release deadlines, testing deadlines, etc.) are met 
b)Test cases completed with certain percentage passed  
c) Test budget depleted  
d) Coverage of code/functionality/requirements reaches a specified point  
e) Meantime between failures  
f)Risks associated with continuing to test 
g) Percentage of coverage achieved  
h) Number of open defects and their severity  
i)Risk associated with move to production

It depends on the risks for the system being tested.

If we reach testing deadlines,
if we reach pass percentage of testcases,
if we met the Acceptance criteria,
All major defects were closed,
when time is runnin out or over.
