- Bugzilla is one example of a class of programs called "Defect Tracking Systems",
- or, more commonly, "Bug-Tracking Systems". Defect Tracking Systems allow individual or
- groups of developers to keep track of outstanding bugs in their product effectively.
- Bugzilla was originally written by Terry Weissman in a programming language called
- "TCL", to replace a crappy
- bug-tracking database used internally for Netscape Communications. Terry later ported
- Bugzilla to
- Perl from TCL, and in Perl it remains to this day.
- Most commercial defect-tracking software vendors at the
- time charged enormous licensing fees, and Bugzilla quickly became a favorite of the
- open-source crowd (with its genesis in the open-source browser project, Mozilla). It
- is now the de-facto standard defect-tracking system against which all others are
- measured.
