Hi all, showstopper bug

As the name suggest any bug going to break the application or important functionality with respect to business or end user fails is called show stopper

Hi Srinu,

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.

Cheers...

a showstopper bug, is a bug that hinder or stops from continuing or running your test scripts, you cannot proceeds to the next level. it normally called a blocker, no work around steps

It turns your TV off. Really.

GOOD one!!! I will have to remember that one at our next development meeting.

ShowStopper!! name itself tells that any bug that doesn't allow the user to proceed with testing called as ShowStopper!!

ShowStoppers are raised as P1 ( High Priority ) defeccts and one should look into these defect fixes as highest priority.

ShowStopper Bug:

Show stopper bug as the name suggest itself is a bug that doesnt allow the user to further do the testing. It freezes the test execution phase.
