Does Increase in testing always mean good to the project?

No increase in testing does not mean always good for the product, company or the
project. In real test scenarios from 100% test plans only 20% test plans are critical from
business angle. Running those critical test plans will assure that the testing is proper
rather than running the full 100% test plans again and again. Below is the graph which
explains the impact of under testing and over testing. If you under test a system your
number of defect will increase, but on the contrary if you over test a system your cost of
testing will increase. Even if your defects come down your cost of testing has shooted
up.
