Bug Tracking Applications

Dennis — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 13:24:39 +0000

Here are some good web applications and desktop software for “software defect management”, otherwise know as bug tracking.

Mantis – looks good and open-source, but somewhat difficult to install.
Bugzilla – from Mozilla. Pretty great, but more than what I need. Also difficult to install. I was able to easily install Free Virtual Bugzilla Server, but it’s just local.
Sifter – not open-source; costs money.
Lighthouse – not open-source; costs money.
BugNET – built using the ASP.NET, boo!
eTraxis – PHP-based; looks promising.

What’s your feedback on these, have you used any? Know any other good ones?

Online Offices

The Office 2.0 Experiment article on Vitamin really got me thinking about how business and technology is changing, particularly open-source technology and web applications. It’s so cool how anyone can easily and very inexpensively create an online office with all the required services. The list of tools in the Vitamin article is good, but here’s some that I recommend, all of which are FREE:

OpenOffice – Open source office suite. Can open, edit, and save MS Office files.
Nvu – Web authoring application, XHTML editor. I feel the best of its kind.
CutePDF – Create PDFs online. Nuff said.
W3C Schools – Training on all aspects of web development. Very good tutorials, quizzes, etc.
GMail – Great email and calendar service.
Google Docs & Spreadsheets – Create office documents and collaborate with others online.
K7 – Fax and Voicemail.
Box – 1GB of free file storage. Pay small amount for 5GB.
