Bug recording and reporting packages.
-
I realize I am opening up a can of worms here, but we need an easy to use bug recording package at my current company. One to record the bugs. Allow assigning of developers, updating status, generating reports, etc... Preferably with the ability to automatically assign, and respond by e-mail. Thanks for the input and abuse! Bill

We are looking at using Team Server and Sharepoint, does anyone have an opinion on this set up?

We're thinking about using this? Do you have any opinions on this product?

We use FogBugz and have been very happy with it.

I'll second this. I use it for my contract work, and it's great.

We use FogBugz also. It is great, but lacks features. - You cannot export cases or any other data for that matter - The interface is intuitive except for time-management (The Timesheet) - You can only see one day at the time - You cannot export the data. - It lacks system settings - You cannot change default settings, such as default priority for a new case - It displays estimates in days + hours, but we are working internationally where the length of a workday differs (in Denmark 7,5h/7h and Russia 8h) - Security permissions are too simple All-in-all it is too expensive compared to other solutions with similar features. :-) Anders Lybecker

I hope you sent this to Fog Creek as well? ;)

I used to work with Fogbugz and it was ok. (3 years ago). It may be great now. Changed jobs to a company using Problem Tracker (NetResults). Didn't like that at all. Messy, slow, not configurable enough, hard to have more than one window open per user at a time. Changed jobs recently to a company that made me select a solution. :-) They had just started with BugTracker.net. It is free, and it works reasonably well. I wanted something that gives more control over the workflow though, so I ended up buying OnTime (axosoft.com) I'm very happy with it and I get nothing but positive feedback from my users (web developers). We have dozens of active projects. Customers can log in to the customer portal and I can configure exactly what they can see. When they report a defect, incident or request a feature, the item gets assigned to the appropriate project leader automatically. E-mail notifications go to customers when an item is rejected or approved, and after it has been fixed AND tested. Nothing gets lost or is forgotten anymore. Also... Quick and adequate responses from their support staff if you do have an issue with their product. Cheers, Speertje

Mantis is excellent -- I set it up for a customer and they love it. And the price is right. I set it up in linux and windows -- both work well. Covers all the features mentioned and many more.

I've been using BugTracker.NET for a year or so now, at two different companies. It isn't very slick, the colour scheme is awful, design is pretty messy. For for a team of 4-6 developers, a couple of testers, BA's and PM's it works OK. Especially considering the price (free). Takes about 10 minutes to setup if you have MS SQL and an available IIS server. It is easy to make a few modifications if you need them, although once you start that you get a desire to rewrite the entire thing :-) So personally I would recommend it, because it is easy to install, easy enough to use, does most things I can think you would want a bug tracking piece of software to do, and because it is free you don't need to justify the price to managers etc - which always seems to take a while. Good luck Andrew

Thanks mate. I've decided to take the plunge. I demoed it yesterday and it seems fine for my purpose. Thanks a lot.

We use OnTime, and IMO, it's a steaming pile. They even goat-roped us into buying the add-ons that are supposed to improve performance and stability. It runs much slower now. The database design is worthy of The Daily WTF[^]. I believe they honestly use every database "design" mechanism I was ever taught not to use: Dynamic modification of key tables, stored procedures that generate and execute dynamic SQL, and more. It crashes regularly, and when it crashes, it sometimes randomly reconfigures some global interface settings. (I'm not kidding.) And it doesn't even matter on whose system it crashes, because in order to run it must have dbowner permissions on the database. Now, it could be that the only reason it works so terribly for us is that we try to organize our projects (dozens of project folders) or that we're a corporate shop with a cut-rate offshore team (thousands of defects). Apparently, they've spent all of their salary budget on marketing staff instead of competent developers, because their advertising and marketing is first-rate.
