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, Loki - software, Linux-Mandrake, and VA Systems. Combined with systems - such as CVS, Bonsai, or Perforce SCM, Bugzilla provides a - powerful, easy-to-use solution to configuration management and - replication problems -
