Jerry I was asking in the context of practices that you, for example, 
might use that would, for you, embody what "test enough" means. I design 
serious games that use computer simulation as the underlying engine. The 
decision a player is responding to might expect an answer between 5 and 
10. For testing I would answer 500,000 just to see how the engine reacts 
to the number.

I was looking for some practices that were more specific, if you are 
inclined to share them (and "no" is a real plausible answer).
