Testing is done to ensure the software project/product is reasonably bug free and satisfies the requirements specified.QC conducts only inspections and audits to check the work product is as per the quality standards. Common factors in deciding when to stop are... Deadlines e.g. release deadlines testing deadlines; Test cases completed with certain percentage passed; Test budget has been depleted; Coverage of code functionality or requirements reaches a specified point; Bug rate falls below a certain level; or Beta or alpha testing period ends. with regardsPrasad

Testing is done to ensure that the s/w develooped is defect free & as per the requirements specified by te customer. QC is defined as the processes & methods used to compare product quality to requirements & appplicable standards& the action taken when non conformance is detected.So QC focusses on detection & correction of defects before the shipment of actual product.When to stop Testing is a crtiical thing.U can stop testing atleast entire functionality is covered atleast once the bug level is at an Acceptable level to meet the release deadlines or test deadlines.
