>2.2. Why use a bug-tracking system?</H1
><P
>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.</P
><P
>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.</P
