Option A is clearly the best answer. If you haven't discovered every single bug in the program, then the testing is not complete. Anything less is just a waste of time. (Psst, hey Jannette, I heard you're using magic to test your code. Want to share your secrets?)

I'm going to have to go with Option B on this one. Testing every possible path in the code is the only way to be truly confident that the software is bug-free. Unless you're using magic, of course.

I see your point, Gilma. But testing every statement ensures comprehensive coverage of the code.

Option D is the way to go. If you've completed every test in the test plan, then the testing is complete, regardless of whether you found any bugs or not. Simple as that!

Exactly. Complete testing is more about thorough coverage and not just ticking off tests from a plan.

That's true. Just because you completed all the tests in the plan doesn't guarantee that every bug has been discovered.

But what if there are still bugs lurking in the program even after completing all the tests in the plan?

I'm not sure I agree with that. Reaching the scheduled ship date is the true definition of complete testing - who cares about bugs as long as the software ships on time, right? (just kidding, that's a terrible answer).
