Answer / abhishek
Show stopper is that kind of defect, that has to be fixed
as soon as possible otherwise we are not able to proceed
further testing.
Ex:
Not able to login to the application even if user entered
valid id and psw.

Answer / rafi
Show stopper is nothing but, if login failed we can't able
to move forward for further testing in that case that is
high severity defect so in that case the first step will
FAIL and rest of the steps are in NO RUN status

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.

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.

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.

Answer / vignesh
show stopper is a blocker. Generally, it does not allow the
tester to proceed with the further testing of the
application. A show stopper can be anything like system
network issues, test environment issues, functionality
issues etc.
