What is a Show Stopper?..

Answer / vaasu chowdary

When system/application is not allowing to proceed for
further testing is Showstopper Defect. Whenever tester
identify the showstopper defect, it is his repsonsibility
to log a defect and inform the same to respective teams to
resolve soon. usually show stopper defects would be raised
as critical defect with HIGH priority. Best examples of
showstopper defect would be gmail login.
after providing valid and correct user name and passowrd,
if system does not allow user to login, then it is
showstopper defect. one more exmaple, after login in any
application, consider Banking Product, where authorized
bank agent will able to login into system and but unable to
do transactions and system is throwing an error messages in
very first page and not able to proceed further.

Answer / vasegowda

what suneel telling is correct.

Show stoppers are the issues when detected at the end moment
before product release. Show is nothing but we are going to
showcase our product to users. But just before, any issue ,
it may related to your environment ,application
functionality or any severe issue which stops the product to
release is called show stopper.

What is a Show Stopper?..

Answer / sakthi

These are ‘critical bugs’ that happen or critical defect
which occurs at the last minute before the release of
product and which is going to stop the release. Ideally
there should no show stoppers in a project. This happened
means it is a bad testing process.

What is a Show Stopper?..

Answer / parul

Any bug that does not let the user proceed ahead with
testing the specified functionality would be called as a
ShowStopper.

Generally such bugs are assigned the highest Priority of
fix.

For Instance - User is testing a Online Shopping site.
After Selecting the required items into the Shopping Cart,
he clicks on Order Button.

Expected Result : User Should be Redirected to Order and
Billing Page

Actual Result : Application displays a webServer error and
displays a http Page not found error page.

Thisi would be logged as a ShowStopper bug since you do not
have any workaround to proceed ahead with testing the
Orders Page.
