Defect Tracking Software
-
I remember a thread a while back about this but can't seem to find it. I'm looking for some bugtracking software. Preferably something quick & easy to learn that integrates with vc6. I'm not looking for a package on steroid just something good that 10 users can use. Anyone know of any good ones that fit this criteria?

I'd be interested to hear what people are using, what it does and how much it costs. We have our own web based system, and I am writing a VC integrated one in my alloted five minutes spare time a week. I might get some 'at work' time if it appears there may be a market for what I am doing.....

We use DevTrack at work. It works well for us, though I don't think it integrates with Visual C++, though I've never tried. Its quite quick, too. It is really easy to learn, but I don't administrate it, so I can't assess that side of it. "Harland Pepper, would you stop naming nuts" - Harland Pepper

I think I posted this question a while back when I was tasked to recommend a bugtracking system. Although my company still can't get off the dime and actually buy the software, I can share my experience. We are a strictly windows shop, we already use Sourcesafe. We want something that integrates with Sourcesafe, so that narrows things down quite a bit. (aside: At my last gig we converted from Starteam to cvs,and everyone liked cvs better. I'm a point and click baby, but WinCVS worked fine for me. There are a host of free and low cost bug trackers that integrate with cvs, such as the one from Fog Design. If I were starting a shop from scratch I'd certainly consider using cvs for source control and one of the cvs compatable free or low cost bugtrackers.) I first looked at Visual Intercept. This is the most MS integrated product that I found. I think it may be the only one that can run from inside visual studio. It is probably to expensive for us, my budget is $700 a seat, and it was over US$900. They have a very aggressive and helpful sales force, it may be possible to dicker with them. We used VI at one other place I worked, and I learned this important safety tip: do not try and run any bug tracker off of access if you have more than one user. Plan on using a real backend such as SQL Server or Oracle. My feeling right now is that VI is more than we need in our small shop. Right now the front runner with me is Devtrack. It doesn't (as far as I can tell) integrate into Visual Studio, but it can replace the sourcesafe client. It has good custom reporting capablity, time on task tracking (something our bean counters want) and seems pretty stable. It's around US$400 I think. If I didn't need to integrate with sourcesafe, then Bugtrack looked pretty good and was cheap. The best bug tracker I used was part of the Remedy system, but that's megabucks. Jim

Why don't you want a bugtracker that works off Access? Does something go wrong with multiple users?
This was three or four years ago, but our access database corupted on a regular basis when we tried run VI with multiple users. The documentation for several of the packages recommends against using access for multiple users. Jim

We use TestTrack (www.seapine.com). It's pretty decent. /ravi "There is always one more bug..." http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com
