I do not believe that you would think of this scenario. <br /><br />The quote is from Dijkstra he is simply pointing to the fact that you cannot test anything completely. Gerry Weinberg wrote and excellent book which came out last year entitled Perfect Software.

Also if you don't find any bugs that doesn't mean there are no bugs.<br />And I feel happy when i see bugs,you can see in Who Am I? page in my blog.

Absolutely ! I agree with you and that ...@Leumascom<br />Absolutely ! I agree with you and that is how the process goes. But with thorough testing we just attempt to clear the code from bugs and defects.<br />Secondly, time is one of the factor which affects the quality of software deliverable to a significant extent. So a tester has to prioritize the features as well as the bugs to be fixed.<br /><br /><br />Thanks,<br />Nishant VermaNishant Vermahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715104665648937660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829479533085218307.post-30652388594125168962010-04-26T17:40:28.892+05:302010-04-26T17:40:28.892+05:30Your last statement is cool, but mathematically it...Your last statement is cool, but mathematically it is impossible to ensure that there are no, we can ensure as few bugs as possible.<br /><br />The quote means that, say u find 0 defects in a module, does n't mean it has 0 bugs, only means it has 0 detected bugs.<br /><br />Ragesh G RRagesh G Rhttp://rageshunleashed.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829479533085218307.post-33162347509253809352010-04-26T15:13:49.747+05:302010-04-26T15:13:49.747+05:30In my opinion "Testing shows the presence of ...In my opinion "Testing shows the presence of bugs and not the absence of them." means, that you can only detect as many bugs as possible in software and not be absolutely sure that there are no more bugs in the software. Considering time constraint among many other constraints, what I strive to achieve is that there are no major/ critical defects that go unnoticed.<br /><br />On the other hand i find that understanding the underlying technology makes me a better tester, I am able to judiciously use my time, I would occasionally look through tests developers might have written and start my testing from gaps which i have noticed.leumascomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167812764083309460noreply@blogger.com
