I hope the test plan doesn't include a question about making the perfect omelet. That would be a real bug hunt!

Option D is too rigid. Test plans can be incomplete or miss important scenarios. Complete testing is more about coverage than just following a checklist.

Option C is a joke, right? Shipping on schedule has nothing to do with the completeness of testing.

I disagree with Option A. Discovering every bug is an unrealistic and unattainable goal. Software will always have some undiscovered bugs.

Yeah, discovering every bug is impossible. Option B ensures thorough testing of the program.

Option B seems the most comprehensive definition. Testing every statement, branch, and combination of branches is the gold standard for complete testing.

True, but just finding bugs doesn't mean you've covered all possible scenarios.

But what about option A? Discovering every bug seems pretty complete to me.

I think option D) You have completed every test in the test plan is also a valid definition. As long as all planned tests are executed, it can be considered complete testing.
