Open source bug tracking

I am using Issue Manager [^] which is simple, painless and works well for our needs.

Bugtracker.NET at http://ifdefined.com/bugtrackernet.html[^] From that website: BugTracker.NET is a free, open-source, web-based bug tracker or customer support issue tracker written using ASP.NET, C#, and Microsoft SQL Server (or its free cousin, SQL Server Express). I've used it for a year or two now without any problems.
There is one feature in BugTracker.NET that is just great. There is a windows application that captures the screen and you can draw on it and send directly to the bug tracker. Here, we changed a few lines on this C++ application so now it does not need any configuration file to run. Every single user here has this app installed on their machine.

Hey, guys. I may have something coming up where I'll have need for a web based bug tracking system, and given that they're a startup, free / open source is a Good Thing. I looked at Bugzilla since Filezilla is such nice work, but it's Perl / Penguin and I prefer a .NET solution that's more native to the Windows universe. Any suggestions?

We use BugNet at http://www.bugnetproject.com/[^] and we're pretty happy with it. It's ASP.NET.

Try BugTracker.NET[^]. We use it here. It's very customizable and database driven so you can add assigned users, priorities, catageories, projects, and a slew of other sorting/filtering/organizing fields. You can even put colors and font attributes to these fields (background, foreground, whatever). So, you can make, say, Urgent bugs standout from the rest. We like it. Draugnar

There's BugTracker.NET. I'm not too sure of its quality, especially since it seems to be just one guy writing/supporting it, but it is written in C#, it's free, open-source, and uses an ASP.NET front-end with MS SQL Server on the back-end. Wade

If your needs are basic, I've successfully used Issue Tracker from the ASP.NET startup kits. Grabbed source (C# or VB.NET) and built the DB. It's a .Net based web solution. Supports multiple projects and assignment of projects by user, etc. Flexibility to tweak code -- code base is relatively small. Basic, but works. http://www.asp.net/downloads/archived/starter-kits/issue-tracker Ri-

Dangerous statement my friend. A web based system should be language and system agnostic. I am sure you have a sacrificial box somewhere that can run linux, I have a few. Look for one that integrates bug tracking into your ticketing and source control system. I have used an expensive and slow system from IBM like that once. And other than the poor implementation the idea was brilliant.

Although I agree philosophically, the realities of the matter are that I need a web based system that my clients can also access, and my hosting platform is MS technologies. Could I force a square peg in a round hole? Of course. However, sometimes it's just nice if things are easy. :)

I used bugtracker.net the last time I was in the market for something like this. I was very happy with its features and customizability. The guy who puts it out is fanatically honest, posting every comparison between his product and others that he can find on the web - even when the final choice is not for Bugtracker.

BugZilla could be written in C# 10 and running on ASP.NET 52 with a WPF UI in Silverlight on an HD 30" display and it would still suck. Awful, awful piece of software. Not sure how it ever got to be the defacto bug tracker (well, not anymore.) It even has bugs like SQL injection attacks and inability to handle quotes. Avoid. I'm afraid I don't know many .NET/Windows friendly solution. I would recommend Trac[^] though. It looks simple but it works great and should install easily enough on Windows. If you don't have high traffic to it then you don't even need MySQL. Just use Sqlite. Oh, and for Windows; Fogbugz[^]. It is ASP. Works well and has a good customer facing system.

Thanks for the warning on Bugzilla. Filezilla was so nice, but then, I'm sure a completely different bunch of Zillas worked on this one.

No, I figured as much. However, when I have need for some fluffy bunny stuff, you're my guy! :-D

The chaps over at UltrApps have a nice .NET solution. They have a free product and a commercial product. There is also BugTracker.NET
Both of those are on the list, thanks!

We use BugTracker.Net. It's an ASP.Net based system that is easy to configure, and easy to use. Our internal testers are generally not very tech adept, but they required almost no training for this. Another nice thing is that, being open-source and based on ASP.Net and SQL Server Express, .Net programmers will find it interesting to poke around the .aspx pages and SQL queries. The developer is good about answering questions on the forum and encourages users to modify the pages and queries if the built-in settings don't need their needs.
