I spend a lot of time on software testing. I test others' work as well as my own. I track problems using FogBUGZ and work pretty obsessively on these tasks (just ask those that work for me). But how much testing is enough. I just read an article in eWeek by Darryl Taft (Microsoft preps 'Sparkle' kin, eWeek 23(6), 6-Feb-06, p. 14) that reported that "the current Visual Studio 2005 test covers more than 10 million tests, with 9,000 servers in the lab, and a full test pass takes 21 days." All of that and I am sure users still found problems when they tried to use it. So the answer to my question, How much testing is enough? - There ain't no such thing as enough. You just end when you are worn out.
