Abstract
In addressing the two major software testing issues, that is when to stop testing and how good is the technique after testing, this paper presents a scheme by a data flow diagram (DFD) for evaluating software testing techniques based on the works of classification. Following this diagram step by step, all the activities involved and the relative techniques were described.A strategy proposal for software testing in the development of applications is advocated later.
