Bugzilla is one example of a class of programs called "Defect Tracking
|
|
Systems", or, more commonly, "Bug-Tracking Systems". Defect Tracking
|
|
Systems allow individual or groups of developers to keep track of
|
|
outstanding bugs in their product effectively.
|
|
|
|
Bugzilla has matured immensely, and now boasts many advanced features.
|
|
These include:
|
|
|
|
- integrated, product-based granular security schema
|
|
- inter-bug dependencies and dependency graphing
|
|
- advanced reporting capabilities
|
|
- a robust, stable RDBMS back-end
|
|
- extensive configurability
|
|
- a very well-understood and well-thought-out natural bug resolution protocol
|
|
- email, XML, console, and HTTP APIs
|
|
- available integration with automated software configuration management
|
|
systems, including Perforce and CVS (through the Bugzilla email interface
|
|
and checkin/checkout scripts)
|
|
- too many more features to list
