The pesticide paradox principle in software testing states that if the same tests are repeated over time, eventually they will no longer find new bugs. To overcome this, tests need to be regularly reviewed and revised, adding new and different tests to help find more defects. This principle implies that defects or bugs tend to cluster in certain areas (modules or functionalities) of the application, but over time, as these areas are tested and fixed, testers need to adjust their focus and strategies to uncover defects in other areas or in new ways, reflecting the changing nature of defect clusters.
