Issue Tracking Tools

We are looking for a simple issue tracking system to improve the formality/structure of our bug reporting / fixing / testing cycle. We don't really need anything complicated like SLA management, time spent on issue, milestones etc. Things we would like: - somewhere to describe the issue - somewhere to describe the fix - a basic priority for the issue - a basic classification for the issue (e.g., documentation issue, bug, feature request) - ability to search the issue/fix database - record who fixed the issue, and when - record who tested the fix, and when - SVN integration would be nice (but somewhere to record the commits related to the fix would do) Most of the things we've looked at so far are way more complicated (and/or expensive) than we require (we have 2.5 devs and 1 support person, developing a very complex, niche technical product with a 20+yr old code-base), but I'm interested to know what others are using (especially if you are in a small team). Cheers.
MS Project. Includes scheduling. Costing.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Thanks I'm having a play with this - I like that I can hide the sections for projects, like the Repos since we wouldn't use them. It looks like this could be pared back to what we would want... will have to get the boss to look at it too. Still maybe not so keen on the info not being 'in house' so to speak - the advantages of working 'in the cloud' aren't that strong for me. EDIT - Ah! I see there is there 'Server' and the 'Services' so we can keep it in house. Are they otherwise the same?
At work, we host ADO onsite, but are moving towards hosting on the MS cloud. For my personal projects, I've always used the MS cloud. /ravi

And how does the size of your team compare to 2.5 devs? :laugh:

You could create a “tracking” folder in your SVN where you check in a text or markdown file along with the changes. Have a standard template that you clone. Consider simple http header like format for searching via regex. It will be committed on the same revision with the changes. If you have your work files on an SSD this would be viable for 10,000+ commits or so (for searching) Create project/epic/yearly sub folders to help organize if desired.

I am a fan of the JetBrains Tools and therefore we (3 dev's) use JetBrains YouTrack. It's on premise, free for 10 Dev's and you can but do not have to use the complete functionality with timereporting and so on. Additionally if you may later want that you could directly connect their tool for code reviews, the build server application for CI and the so called HUB as the main manager for logins and projects. But as far as i know you'd get most of this also by gitLab, which i think should also be free up to a certain amount?

Redmine has a free version, usable for comemrcial purpose. It's not wonderful but it works.

Trello. Don't skip just yet (: - describe the issue and fixes on a card - have entire conversations there if you like - cards can have custom fields - so you end up with a drop-down on the card for stuff like priority, classification - search your board any time for text on cards or people associated with those cards (probably on custom fields too - I have never tried) - the ability to place cards in lanes such as "incoming", "triaged", "work in progress", "fixed", "deployed" and associate board members with cards - SVN integration is one I'm not sure about - we link pull requests, branches, etc from Github there, so I guess if your SVN server exposes a web interface, you could deep-link to commits and files Trello is really simple to use and can be expanded upon with power-ups as you need them. The company I work at, for instance, wrote email integration so you can use Trello like a help-desk or customer queries queue: you mail the associated address, the power-up creates cards, and comments on cards are mailed back to the people involved (it's called SendBoard and has a free tier, if you want to give it a go)

Redmine is a solution to all the features you ask for. It is open source can be run out of a Docker container, onsite, for a 'free' option.

Git commits? We use asana for tasks, and we add subtasks and comments along the way. New issues get added to the product backlog section and tags get added for priority. As a task is picked up, the person doing the work assigns the task to him/herself, and others may be added as collaborators or assigned to subtasks within the main task. It's simple and searchable.
