Test coverage can be measured when Test cases are completed with certain percentage passed.

Common factors in deciding when to stop testing are:

Deadlines (release deadlines, testing deadlines, etc.)

Test cases completed with certain percentage passed

Test budget depleted

Coverage of code/functionality/requirements reaches a specified point

Bug rate falls below a certain level

Beta or alpha testing period ends

Test coverage is mesured by using RTM(Requirement Treceability Matrix).

Common factors in deciding when to stop are:

Deadlines (release deadlines testing deadlines etc.)
Test cases completed with certain percentage passed
Test budget depleted
Coverage of code/functionality/requirements reaches a specified point
Bug rate falls below a certain level
Beta or alpha testing period ends.

RE: how we measure the test coverage?when to stop the testing?

Through Traceability Matrix we can measure the test coverage.

In Test Plan Exit Criteria specified when to stop testing

1) During the build release If Bug ratio comes down and there were zero critical and medium bugs

2) 100 coverage is over as per the Test case document or Traceability Matrix

3) As per the Release Date mention in the agreement with client

4) Out of budget

5) When managers says stop testing

6) Alpha or beta testing is over

RE: how we measure the test coverage?when to stop the testing?

1) When the number of test cases are covered and how many passed and failed.
2) Bug flow rate is low or zero.
3) When more time is taken and its beyond the dead line.
4) More budget is consuming than what is planned.
