Desktop-based bug tracking software

I have seen some out there that cost something, but if anyone
here can recommend one based on actual experience, or know of an
open-source free solution, please let me know. This is for tracking
information from an ongoing dev project for which I am the only
developer. I am also in a corporate setting, with no ability to
setup a server on my machine or the network, so I am cannot use a
multi-user web-based solution.
Thank you!

Either way you look at it, you will have a slight learning
curve to any software that you chose. You will need to do some
configuration for the setup and spend a little time reading up on
it. I do not know from my experience any software that you can just
install and be "good to go" as bug tracking software that I have
seen whether it be OS such as Bugzilla (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugzilla)
or COTS such as IBM ClearQuest.
Here is an excellent listing of available software from Wiki.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue_tracking_systems#Bug_tracking_systems
Note you will need to install supporting software such as for
Bugzilla, you will need to install Tomcat and MySQL. The nice thing
is that all the software that you need to support Bugzilla tracking
software is that all of it is open source and wont cost you a
penny.

  • Defect tracking software

    Apologies for posting this on the LabView forum, but I did not see a general tools board.
    Can anyone recommend an enterprise level defect tracking software?
    I am familiar with a lot of software only (VCS and bug tracking), but need something that can handle
    software, documentation, customer service calls, etc.
    I figure someone on this forum probably has experience with something that they like (or think should be avoided).
    Thanks in advance.

    I know this is an old thread, but if someone comes across this looking for suggestions concerning bug tracking software, I might have a few. 
    First a disclaimer:  Although I might hold the title to Bug King of the Universe, I have not used bug tracking software other than the afore mentioned Excel.  So I am speaking from ignorance as a fellow-searcher-for-good-free-coding-aids.
    Wikipedia (go figure) has a comparison of bug tracking software: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue_tracking_systems
    You might also try the LAVA (LabVIEW Advanced Virtual Architects) forum: http://forums.lavag.org/Issue-tracking-tools-t5832.html
    Along with bug tracking, you might also be looking for a source code management (or configuration management) tool.  If so, I would suggest TortoiseSVN.  I have used it and love it.  It's free.  http://tortoisesvn.net/

  • Issue Tracker, Bug Tracker, 0.9,Discussion Forum 0.91!

    Hi all!
    My question is very specific.
    I have Software Projects application in Russian edition.(I translate this application).
    I can put it for you.
    Do you have Issue Tracker application, Bug Tracker 0.9 application, Discussion Forum 0.91 application in Russian edition ?
    Thanks,
    Roman.

    Unfortunately the problem persists on OC4J904, so the alternative for you is to use OC4J902, you can setup a new container on a different port (other than used for 902) and register the provider using the direct URL of the OC4J902 container. This should solve the problem.

  • Project Management/Bug Tracking tools...

    We are growing from a single person team to a team of 5-6 people and it’s getting harder to keep the project straight, so I want to look at project management tools…
    Specifically I want to have a bug/new features tracker, the ability to develop test cases for the bug/new feature (plus regression tests) the ability to interface with CM software (Subversion) and of course scheduling…
    There are high end commercial products out there (Microsoft has MS Project and it’s Sharepoint product has bug tracking capability) and some open source (Jira and SpiraTeam for example) but does Oracle have anything to do this (especially one that able to work within the JDeveloper/SOA environment?)
    Any suggestions are appreciated..
    Thanks in advance.
    Michael

    Take a look at Oracle Team Productivity Center - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/tpc/index.html
    It integrates 3rd party tools such as Bugzilla, JIRA, Microsoft Project Server & Rally Software into the JDeveloper IDE - letting you assign tasks, keep track of related files and integrate with Subversion, CVS etc...

  • Consulting Bug tracking: Why an Oracle support agreement is needed?

    Hi all,
    I don't really understand why anybody could not access to the Jdev bug tracking? An important part of them are detected by anonymous users who have no agreement. Moreover, Jdev is a free tool until developed app is put in production, and bugs are mainly detected during development phase.
    Thanks to bring me some light on this,
    Regards,
    Tif

    Hi,
    yes JDeveloper is a free product, but customer support services isn't - its a service that you will have to pay for.
    Usually, If there is a bug report posted on this forum we do our best to track this down (and I am spending quite some time with this) and log it if it reproduces. However, the differentiation to customer support service comes when it doesn't reproduce immediately which requires in depth analysis of the problem or complex set-up. This is beyond of what we can handle on OTN.
    We discussed the option of a public application to report issues and track them. However, i am not sure what the current state of thsi project is.
    As a remark from my side, from 10 questions I ask users who report bugs on OTN to send me a testcase based on teh HR schema, I usually get 3 replies. So even a public bug application is a give and take. Not sure if this was your intention.
    I'll forward your question.

  • Project Bug-tracking practices

    I am not sure this is the right place to ask this, but this is the place on the Web I feel most comfortable.
    Our company projects get larger and we get lot of user requests and problem issues. Currently we keep them in an MSAccess database in a single table that has links to bookmarks in Word files. This seems very inefficient to me since most people have lots of issues against their names. Sometimes I spend half an hour to look up bugs that are fixed in 5 minutes(not to soeak of priority, version requirements, bug verification).
    So I came to the idea to look for bug-tracking system that will ease this process. The bad thing here is that the management will not pay
    for one, at least not at this stage. Another problem seems to be that the we use Windows as platform for all machines . I spent half a day yesterday searching the web for possible solutions. I came up with bugzilla, but ended up with the fact that 'installing under Windows is a painfull process'. After new search I came up with scarab, which seemed good because it is pure Java. I spent another half day today trying to make it work and though I read the install manual completely I sill cannot get to log-in into it.
    What products do your companies use? I am sure I am far from the first to encounter this issue.
    To summarize the product requirements:
    1. Free (maybe paid support)
    2. Windows - compatible
    3. DB - Oracle or MSSql server
    4. Easy set-up and configuraion is definitely preferrable to flexibility
    Please provide pointers since I am close to despair
    Faithfully
    Mike

    So, again out of curiousity (I'm full of it today) -
    did you use that Web Gateway thing that did the
    5250-to-HTML translation stuff, or was it something
    more intense then that?No, it was much more basic than that. There's a
    service program somewhere in the system that
    encapsulates most of the things required for CGI
    programming and I just used that. (Based on code I
    cribbed from a magazine article.) This was in late
    1999, by the way.Ah - I was messing with this stuff around then - or 98 even - and ended up using this:
    http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/html/as400/v5r1/ic2978/index.htm?info/rzal3/rzal3overview.htm
    Which worked out surprising well - ugly webpages, but then if you're used to a 5250 terminal session you felt right at home.

  • Packaged Application 'Bug Tracker'

    Hi,
    a great compliment to the developer of the Bug Tracker. It's very simple to install and contains all the important functions to trace bugs in the development of software projects - and it works fine :-).
    I recommend it to all developer.
    Best regards,
    Martin

    Nayana,
    2.1 is the version of APEX that is built into Oracle Express Edition (XE).
    There are threads in this forums about upgrading it to version 2.2.1, but it is not supported and may not be a good idea.
    However, the only thing preventing you from running the Bug Tracker on your version is the installation process.
    Version 2.2.1 has a new application packager that lets you make a single install script that installs the application plus all supporting objects.
    To install the Bug Tracker on XE I first installed it on a server running 2.2.1 - like apex.oracle.com.
    Then I exported the application without its supporting objects.
    Then I took the scripts that installed the database objects and images and made my own scripts from them.
    Then I could run those scripts on XE and install the application.
    To make it easier for others, I zipped up my scripts and put them here:
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=299:1
    That should be easier than trying to upgrade your APEX version.

  • Bug Tracker Updates?

    Hi,
    I know this is a shot in the dark, but has anyone updated the example Bug Tracker application? We've used it for some individual projects in the past and noticed that there were several bugs in the application. If not, then it's not a big issue.
    Thanks,
    Martin
    [http://apex-smb.blogspot.com/]

    Imagine that, bugs in the BUG TRACKER..... (Sorry, couldn't resist...) :) But seriously, I have started making some modifications to this product to support bug tracking for an application I am helping with. First off, I am moving the authentication from being APEX Users to table based (seems there was some work started on this before it was released...) Also looking at adding some more reports and such in the future, and also looking at it being a bug tracker and enhancements request collection tool...
    Just need some time to do all this ..

  • Creating new track - software catalog new product not showing up - Help!!!

    Hi,
    Creating a new track for custom development.
    A new product has been added in the software catalog in SLD.
    SLD and NWDI (netweaver 04) are on the same system.
    The new product is not showing up when trying to select in the new track, Software Components for Development section. Why??
    Does the server need to be restarted after adding a new product? This is difficult for us as SLD has production systems tied to it!!!
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks - This did the trick. I have awarded points!!!!

    We have developed a desktop application using Flash software and published the same for MAC environment. When we double click on the index.app file, the application is working perfectly in Mac 10.6.7 at our office. But if the same index.app file is double clicked in Mac 10.6.7 at out clients location, its not opening. For your information the client is able to open this same application by double clicking on index.swf file. The main problem is that client is not able to open the application using index.app file at their office whereas we are able to do so at our office. Can anyone give some suggestions to sort this problem?

    The most common reason is different versions of Flash, or different versions of web browsers used.  Some users may elect to not have Flash installed at all because of the processor overhead of Flash.  If you are going to make an application for a client, check what operating system and browser versions they are using first.  Then determine if a stand alone application is required, or if they have the necessary plugins to run specific browser enhanced code.
    P.S. MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control.  Mac is the shorthand for Macintosh, the operating system and computers made by Apple Inc.

  • How to open the link in new firefox window for web desktop based application? Or how to open the mail/website/rss link in new firefox window

    I am using the firefox 3.6. My problem is that I am using the web desktop and few web desktop based application directly opens link. If I click on rss link than it opens in same window, so no longer access to web desktop. I want to open any kind of link in new window instead of same window. I have tired to change the value of browser.link.open_newwindow, browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction but doesn't work. Also gone through the https://developer.mozilla.org/en/window.open but not sure where to do this in web desktop based application or firefox where we connect the web desktop?
    Is there any way to open the link every time in new firefox window?

    Hi Joseph,
    the HTMLB link object misses the support for onClientClick through the tag lib, see hbj:link without onClientClick ? and OnClientClick Event for Link HTMLB Component for similiar problems and workarounds.
    With this workaround, you can call for example an AbstractPortalComponent, implement doOnNodeReady (with an empty doContent method) and return the PDF, settings the content type on the http before etc.
    Hope it helps

  • Can I tell if I have activated any tracking software on my Macbook that will help me find it.

    My Macbook Pro was stolen today.  I know that I have logged into iCloud from this laptop before but I am not sure that I have specifically activated any tracking software.  Can anyone suggest any ideas for tracking this down - unlikely I think.

    Find my Mac may be enabled on your MacBook Pro. To check this, open http://www.icloud.com on any PC or Mac, log in with your Apple ID and choose Find my iPhone. Your Mac's location will show up if it's connected to the Internet, and you will be able to lock or wipe it. Also, you can do this through an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the Find my iPhone app.
    If you can't track the MacBook, there's no way to locate it at the moment. If the thief erased the MacBook, you won't be able to track it anymore even if you enabled Find my Mac

  • Password for a new bug tracker user

    I installed bug tracker and it works fine. When I created a user I didn't find where to provide/change password. When I got login screen and type new user name, I don't know what is the password. How to set password for the new user in bug tracker?

    It means that you can copy and paste an encrypted password from configuration file. Of course, passwords are encrypted if password-encryption service is enabled. Otherwise passwords are stored in plaintext in configuration files.

  • Deleting a bug tracker user account

    I have by mistake created two accounts on the bug tracker. How can I remove one of them?

    http://flyspray.org/faq#why_can_t_i_delete_tasks wrote:Nothing should ever be deleted from any sort of issue/task/bug tracking system.
    AFAIK, there is no option to delete a user, even for the admins. The best you can do it set the password for the user you don't want to some long, random string and then forget about it.

    If you've set up your site definition properly in
    Dreamweaver, you should
    be able to copy the table in design view from home.html and
    paste into
    gallery/index.php and DW will correct the paths
    automatically. It /might/
    even copy the relavent JavaScript over (I don't have DW on
    this computer to
    test that).
    But to answer your question, any path to the images must
    point to the site
    root (where your images are stored). The links will likely
    need to point
    there as well. For example, the Home button in your table
    gets its image
    from:
    src="Home Navigation Home01.png"
    In order for that to work from pages in the gallery folder,
    it will need to
    be linked with either a site root relative, or a simple
    relative path:
    src="/Home Navigation Home01.png"
    The above example tells the server to look for the image in
    the site's root
    folder.
    src="../Home Navigation Home01.png"
    This example tells the server to get the image from one
    folder up from the
    current folder.
    Likewise for the links. ie: href="Home.html" would become
    either
    href="/Home.html" or href="../Home.html"
    href="phpBB3/index.php" could become href="/phpBB3/index.php"
    or even
    href="/phpBB3/"
