: The proz reference notwithstanding, I think the standard computer term is 'fatal error'. I've seen it too often on my Windows screen ever to forget it. But the asker never mentioned anything about 'tests'.

There's a difference between a 'fatal error' which is a system (OS) error occuring during the life time of the product (as your windows) which generayes an error message and a faut (generally for an application software) occuring during the tests.
