Hello friends, I am searching for a bug tracking software of some kind. We have been using PR-Tracker for a few years. But it does no longer fit our needs. And is somewhat clunky to use. (Version 4.5 that is. I have not used any never). So I am somewhat curious to hear what people are using and why. Preferably packages that run on Windoze platform, since that is what we use in our department. What we need: Shared database with support for multiple users. Windoze supported host/client Possibility to create and assign problems to developers. Posibility to create various reports from the database. Does anybody have anything they can recommend? Cheap/free would be nice, but commercial packages also has our interest. Thanking you all in advance. Best regards Henrik

It works rather well (spread across about 100 engineers and a similar number of QA staff).

Cheap/free would be nice, but > commercial packages also has our interest.I've started using Trac on a couple of projects. It integrates issue and milestone tracking with a wiki, and repository browser. A little bit nicer than getting separate products working together (imagine cross-linking tickets, revisions, and documents). I think it can run on Windows (Python based).> > Thanking you all in advance. > > Best regards > Henrik

It was a little tricky to set up all three but the result is very cool. SCMbug integrates Bugzilla and Subversion, meaning that every change to the source repository has to be applied to a corresponding bug in the Bugzilla data base. The Bugzilla information for a bug is automatically updated with the list of files that have been modified to resolve the bug. There is also a report generation feature that lets you get a list of the bugs and file changes between tags in the repository, but I haven't had a chance to use that yet. I've been using it for a couple of months for a open source project I've been playing with and am very happy. I have remote access to the source repository and bug database using HTTP access. Best regards, Rich

Can be also integrated with version control system (cvs, subversion). Best Reagrds AK

His "Joel on Software" stuff is always excellent.
