Suggestions in bug tracking?

Hello,
we are entering testing phase of a large project with a geographically distributed team. We have been using Beehive Online for sharing documents successfully. However, for this new phase, we should be using bugzilla for bug tracking.
I would appreciate new ideas on alternatives using Beehive Online or other Oracle tools.
Please note that at least 70 people will be involved - sharing a spreadsheet in Beehive is not an option :-)
Thank you for your input.
Eduardo Wronowski

Eduardo,
The only option I can think of is to use the Wiki structure to allow everyone to edit the information online - the wiki pages are automatically versioned so changes can be tracked.
The spreadsheet could be used if you set the folder to have manual versioning and use the check-out/check-in functionality - it is a bit more process but could work.
Personally I would use the Wiki as it is less process-centric.

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...

Bug Tracking System?

Has anyone seen or written a bug tracking system that can be deployed in 9ias.
We would like to implement some type of a system where our business partners can
log issues with our portal (obviously this request came from a project manager)

Hi,
You can develop this using Portal Forms. Something like a suggestion form, where you can have the priority and descrption
of problem. Internally you can generate a bug no and store the userid logging the problem. You can publish this form as
a portlet on a page and create portal report on this table. You can publish this report as well on the page.
Thanks,
Sharmila

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.
Disclaimer: The forums admin/mods are a separate team to those who maintain the Bug Tracker. I make this post on behalf of myself, not in my capacity at a moderator as I can no represent the sysadmin team.

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.

Why issues in the bug tracker are ignored?

Almost 3 months ago I opened two ticket in Mojarra bug tracker.
https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1751
https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1752
The first one is really important, it limits "redirect after post" pattern usage. I would use flash scope to keep operation status message across second GET request after initial POST request. But the flash scope is broken in RI :-( The issue was discussed on this forum also: http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5445714.
I'm wondering why the opened issue have been ignored for 3 months. The issue status is still unconfirmed, but all information required to reproduce the error was provided. I'm really worried about JSF future if the development team ignore the community.
Fortunately there is a competitor, MyFaces ...

Hi,

Oracle APEX bug tracker

I would like to find a copy of the APEX bug tracker that used to be on the apex.oracle.com web page. Does anyone know where I can find that?
I know they moved this to the cloud and I am exploring that but I would also like a local copy to experiment with.

I have a copy

Where are image files (Bug Tracker Application)

I downloaded the Bug Tracker packaged application and in one of the list (Administration Tab), the list is presented with images. For example User Profiles item show the Image attribute as menu/user_red_32.gif
I want to know where this image is actually uploaded? I cannot see this particular image in the Shared Components/Images
What is "menu" in menu/user_red_32.gif
Thanks,
Jay

Jay,
menu is a folder in your images directory. That's where we store many of the artwork we ship with Application Express. It's a physical folder on your harddisk if you're using Apache or it's a folder in XDB when using 11g.

Marc

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.
Frank

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.

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.

[bug tracker issue] Any way to modify the bug detail of mine?

Greetings,
I just found i can't modify the bug report after i reported a new bug in the bug tracker of archlinux.
it is quite inconvent and weird, since it's quite common that you want to update the bug detail or change something wrong.
at least , in my opinion. -_-
so Is any reason for such restirction?
and is any way to make me modify my bug report?
