What is considered a successful test?
A test that discovered more errors. The whole purpose of testing process is to discover as many bugs and errors as possible. Test that covers more functionality and discovers more errors in your software product, therefore considered more successful.

What bug tracking system did you use?
Again and again, it does not matter what bug tracking system did you use if you made your homework and invented the name of such or mentioned a standard one. You may say you've used proprietary bug tracking system (works especially well if you previous company was this way or another dealing with databases) or you may say Test Director, Clarify, ClearCase, VisualTest etc.

When does testing begin - requirements, plan, design, code / testing phase?
smarak
- Jun 30th, 2010
Bsically actual testing starts in testing phase only, but it also depends on which SDLC model are we following for the project.Any comment on this is welcome.

- Dec 30th, 2009
If your project requires a test strategy and test plan, then testing begins when you ask your first question about the project even before the requirements are baselined. I suppose what I'm saying is this: Testing begins very early in the software development process.

Could you test a program 100%? 90%? Why?
Definitely not! The major problem with testing that you cannot calculate how many error are in the code, functioning etc. There are many factors involved such as experience of programmer, complexity of the system etc.
