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. - </P -><P ->Bugzilla boasts many advanced features.
