What is a Show Stopper?

Answer Posted / 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.
