Definition of showstopper
showstopper
noun
- a bug that makes hardware or software unusable. For example, crashing on startup. "Showstopper" bugs certainly must be fixed before a product can be released, and often need to be fixed before development can proceed.
Interestingly, in its original theatrical use, a "showstopper" is something that's amazingly good.- See more words with the same meaning: computer slang.
