@ Aishwarya:
If in testing process any defect is found that is with high severity, the testing process may be suspended until that bug gets fixed and then resumed for further testing on solving the problem that caused testing to suspend.
Exit criteria is used to stop the testing before release. Generally exit criteria is defined in terms of No. of test cases, Time to test, Testing Coverage, % of completed testing etc. On reaching any of defined criteria testing is stopped.

hello
i got a question in the interview that what are the challenging situation did u face in the manual testing
I find a lot of job security in reading these posts. You are all seemingly in the QA space and pretty much everyone has horrible English writing skills. Where is the quality in the foundation of your being? Why are people posting their educational background and asking questions? This is not the forum for this… you should know, since you are mostly all in IT. Since this is a comments forum, here is mine: if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have such a high paying job. Thanks

Hi,
please any one tell me how to write test plan for mobile apps.
Is it possible to modify the test plan once it is created ?
Suppose i have 6 requirements that has to be tested in this release.
F1, F2 req. are planned for 1st build.
F3, F4 req. are planned for 2nd build and
F5,F6 are planned for 3rd build. All builds and reqs are scheduled in this way in Test plan document. But due to some technical issues with req#F3 and F4 developers implemented F5 &F6 reqs and released in build#2…So F3&F4 are changed to Build#3.
Is it possible to update test plan document with the above changes after the test plan is created???
