Bug-tracking - systems allow individual or groups of developers effectively to keep track - of outstanding problems with their product. - Bugzilla was originally - written by Terry Weissman in a programming language called TCL, to - replace a rudimentary bug-tracking database used internally by 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. - </para> - - <para>Bugzilla boasts many advanced features.

Even then, most shops - never bothered with bug-tracking software, and instead simply relied on - shared lists and email to monitor the status of defects. This procedure - is error-prone and tends to cause those bugs judged least significant by - developers to be dropped or ignored.</para> - - <para>These days, many companies are finding that integrated - defect-tracking systems reduce downtime, increase productivity, and raise - customer satisfaction with their systems. Along with full disclosure, an - open bug-tracker allows manufacturers to keep in touch with their 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 system for accounting for unusual system or software - issues.</para> - - <para>But why should - <emphasis>you</emphasis> - - use Bugzilla?</para> - - <para>Bugzilla is very adaptable to various situations. Known uses - currently include IT support queues, Systems Administration deployment - management, chip design and development problem tracking (both - pre-and-post fabrication), and software and hardware bug tracking for - luminaries such as Redhat, NASA, Linux-Mandrake, and VA Systems. - Combined with systems such as - <ulink url="http://www.cvshome.org">CVS</ulink>, - <ulink url="http://www.mozilla.org/bonsai.html">Bonsai</ulink>, or - <ulink url="http://www.perforce.com">Perforce SCM</ulink>, Bugzilla - provides a powerful, easy-to-use solution to configuration management and - replication problems.</para> - - <para>Bugzilla can dramatically increase the productivity and - accountability of individual employees by providing a documented workflow - and positive feedback for good performance.
