Curious: Which Bug Tracking Software Does Your Team Use?
-
Great link. Didn't know that existed. Thanks very much. Sorry for the rerun. :)
:thumbsup: Have found several circular references here. Answers to many questions are found here itself, so CP is kind of a self-sufficient universe. No need of Google, Bing, etc.

That's quite a mature system. Is it non-intrusive ie - not annoying to use? Just curious. Thanks for the feedback.
As it was originally tailored for our support team and matured with that team (with additions and fixes per request) it is very easy to use - for the team at least. I can't promise that everyone will find it easy-to-use, after all it has a rather old UI... But for us it is the best...Now that there is a plan to move to JIRA we all scared a bit...
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I'm quite curious about the bug tracking software that teams are using. Does your QA team use any bug tracking software at all? How do they report bugs to devs? Do they just send email or write the bug on a scrap of paper? If you do use anything, is it custom -- something written in-house? Or if it is a commercial or open-source package or other that is available, what is it called?
Back when I was a rookie, we used this tracking system[^]. I would not exactly call it software. It was more like a pile of analog electronics with a analog computer.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns. -
That's what my office uses, and it's..."adequate". But then, I haven't used that many alternatives, so it's not really fair of me to put it down as I honestly wouldn't know what to suggest to make it better. Maybe I'm just biased because every time I open it there's more work coming my way. But then, nobody opens cases to say everything's fine...

I've tried to introduce bug tracking, really I have, when the only choice offered is TFS on a REALLY slow server it is a little difficult. Currently a user is most likely to stump up and bitch in the devs ear that his system is broken and he needs to fix it! Alternatively a printed page of excel list is left on his keyboard by some anonymous user. QA team hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hic!

We use JIRA by Atlassian. It is Web-based, with great pricing that scales with the team size and budget needs. Features many useful plugins accessible via a Plugin Store[^]. Some are free, some are paid. Hope it helps!

The other Max approves.
I'd rather be phishing!

Long ago, we used something called Perfect Tracker. It had a web interface, with a custom search facility that was vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. Turned out to be its most useful feature...

I totally understand and guessed that at least 25% of the responders would say something like what you've said. I've experienced the same often. When I asked the QA team how they would track the bugs, they said, "uh, well, we can email them". Ugh!

Bug tracking software with the bugs already in it. :)

Numerous people are moving to JIRA. I've used it and it feels quite bloated to me. I want something simple that reads my simple mind and makes my bug tracking simple. :) Good luck with the transition.

Bugzilla and its sufficient.
"Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence." << please vote!! >>
I like the Bugzilla icons. HOnestly, it looks like one of the better ones, but looks possibly difficult to configure. But maybe they're all difficult to configure. :)

We are using a home made system - made 15 years ago and extended with web portal 10 years ago...

Did you try Excel Online ?

In one way I hope you are joking. In another way -- since my QA people use nothing except outlook to report bugs -- I think you are on to a simple idea that really could work. I'm stuck in an endless looping paradox. :)

Used Redmine for a long time. Had all the features we needed and is open source. You can get a pre-configured turnkey linux copy here: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/redmine[^]
