Now what is a good Software Test?

Recapitulating  all those deliberations of this chapter, we receive the following properties of a software test:

• it is destructive .
• it is a comparison  of what is and what should be.
• its goal is to find faults. 
• it cannot prove  the absence of bugs. 
• it cannot find all bugs.
• it is extremely influenced by psychology. 
• a lot of self-control is necessary for it.
• it has to be repeatable and reproducible. 
• it is hard to define its ending condition.
