Entry and exit level criterias

Two factors on the basis of which testing process has to be started and stopped are called as entry and exit criteria. It is very much important to have set criteria for starting and ending testing process because is we will know that there is no end for testing. Any application cannot be 100% bug free because of this reason also it is important to have entry and exit criteria for testing. Set entry criteria allows the testers the plan the testing activities like creation of test cases, review of test cases, approval for test cases, preparing test bed or testing environment.

Entry criteria for testing process:
