Answer / mfsi_chinmayb`

Hi friends

Showstopper defect can be described as a bug which
stops/restricts the testing to move ahead with that specific
functionality or module.

It simply truncate the test execution.

Example:
A site with is used for photo editing task is being tested.
In the home page it ask for browse a photo from internet or
the local computer. When we select a photo and press the
upload button.

Then it should take to the next page for editing purpose.

But it shows a error message with going to the next page
which terminate/stopped the testing.

This is what we call showstopper defect.

Thanks.
