It's bad. if all test cases are passed it means the tester is not good. To test an application the tester must have 'test to break attitude'. Testing is an destructive approach to find the bug or error not to simply test and pass the AUT. always remember that testing an application means intention to finding an error not to pass the AUT.

It is a poor test procedure.'cos the testing should intentionally make the application to fail.Testing is all about seeking whether app would fail not whether it would pass!!

Writing 500 test cases is very good but all are passed test cases.A good test case is a one which discovers an unidentified error.

All the 500 test cases cannot pass in one go. Some of the testcases will fail. If all the 500 test cases are passed in one go that means the test engineer had not test the product carefully.

It is bad as no software is bug free, and the test cases are not so good that can unearth the bugs in the software.

It is definitely a good news. Test cases written with valid Inputs are called Positive Test cases. Test cases tried with Invalid Inputs are called Negative Test cases. However the expected result should be equal to the actual result.So all test results should be a pass.
