<title>Why use a bug-tracking system?</title>
- <para>For many years, defect-tracking software was principally
- the domain of large software development houses. Most smaller shops
- simply relied on
- shared lists and email to monitor the status of defects. This procedure
- was error-prone and tended to cause those bugs judged least significant by
- developers to be dropped or ignored.</para>
-
- <para>Integrated
- defect-tracking systems reduce downtime, increase productivity, and raise
- customer satisfaction with their systems. Along with full disclosure, an
- open bug-tracker allows you to keep in touch with your clients
- and resellers, to communicate about problems effectively throughout the
- data management chain. Many corporations have also discovered that
- defect-tracking helps reduce costs by providing IT support
- accountability, telephone support knowledge bases, and a common,
- well-understood method for accounting for unusual system or software
- issues.</para>
