Issue tracking software

Bug Tracking
 
Why Bugzero?
Any serious software project of two or more people is going to need a real bug tracking database. The question is, among so many bug tracking programs you can buy or even use for free, why choose Bugzero? If the above feature list still hasn't convinced you, here is more:

Freeware open-source bug tracking tools such as Bugzilla bug tracking system, GNATS problem report database, or Debian defect tracking system usually takes a long time to set up, are not easily customizible (such as add/remove a field), and are not fully supported. Shareware defect tracking software does not cost much, but may not even have the basic features to be useful. Expensive defect tracking systems may have a million poorly-written never used "features", but they certainly do not worth the cost ($300-$600 per user license fee and high maintenance fee). They are too complex, rarely configured properly, confusing, and cumbersome to be effectively used.

Bugzero speaks for itself. It is user-friendly and powerful. It has all the practical functions of a professional issue-tracking program, yet offers an intuitive, simple, and straight-forward user-interface that requires no end user training at all (simplicity). You are in full control of the tool. Bugzero is also highly affordable, minimizes your overall cost by utilizing your existing hardware and software systems and integrating with them seamlessly (integration).

Most importantly, Bugzero comes with timely enterprise-level support. You can depend on us for your needs and can normally expect a no-nonsense response from us within minutes or hours at most. Bugzero is free of known bugs, and bugs once found are fixed within days.

We've been using Bugzero for the past 3 years during many phases of development, including user-acceptance and maintenance of websites and applications we create for our customers. This amounts to over 40 different projects and tens of thousands of issues that have been tracked. - Murali Polanthan, IconNicholson (2005)

Backup and Recovery
Backup and recover Bugzero is simple. You need backup the entire bugzero folder just once since it never changes after install. All the data is stored in the database, and so you need back it up periodically. In case of a hardware or software crash, you just need restore either the bugzero folder if the application server got crashed, or the database if the database server got crashed, or both if they were installed on the same computer.
 
Demo/Download/Install
For your convenience, we have demo sites setup for you to try out the software without you downloading and installing it. You can  login  as dev, qa, or guest (the password is the same as the username).    Note that, user guest has limited access, and also that inconsistencies can occur when multiple users are logged on using the same username.   To see how the Bugzero system administration (i.e., project configuration and user-account management) works, or register online (please state explicitly this is what you want, i.e., to see the admin), and we will send you the admin url. You will see how flexible and configurable it is.

To download a free try version or purchase a license, go to the Pricing page.

For detail installation instructions, please go to the Install page.

 
Releases
Bugzero does releases very often. A upgrade script is provided and the process is simple and easy. It is mostly an automatic process and should be painless. You can find the complete release notes in the download or you can read it right here. You can also see the future upcoming changes. If you found a bug, tell us and we'll fix it immediately (hours or at most days). You will never need to wait months or years for the next release.
 
Resources: Bug tracking explained
A good issue-tracking system is essentially a central repository for problem reports, which may be software bugs, hardware defects, customer feedbacks, trouble tickets, or any other collections of incidents and issues. The importance of such a system is its collaborative nature and its tracking and change-management capability. It is thus best to be used by a group of people in a geophysically distributed environment. Follow the link to read more about collaborative bug, defect, issue, and incident tracking tool and change management software.

Bugzero is a near perfect environment for us, allowing us to handle customer email through a unified interface, assigning support requests to different people without "losing" any information about the customers' situation. The customer interface is just normal email-- no need for them to learn any web-based system-- and our interface is a slick and nicely customizable web interface. Great program! - Greg Ferrar, Sawmill Product Manager (2004)
