Bug Tracking System

The document describes a bug tracking system. It allows developers to track outstanding bugs in their products effectively. Some key features include product and component tracking, status and resolution tracking, priorities and milestones to guide programmers. The proposed system maintains bug history, provides efficient searching, and has user authentication and attachment storage. It allows bugs to be tracked at lower cost and effort than the existing email and list-based system.

BUG TRACKING SYSTEM

1.1 Abstract

For many years, bug-tracking mechanism is employed only in some of the large
software development houses. Most of the others never bothered with bug tracking
at all, and instead simply relied on shared lists and email to monitor the status of
defects. This procedure is error-prone and tends to cause those bugs judged least
significant by developers to be dropped or ignored.

Bug Tracking System is an ideal solution to track the bugs of a product, solution or
an application. Bug Tracking System allows individual or groups of developers to
keep track of outstanding bugs in their product effectively. This can also be called
as Defect Tracking System.

The Bug Tracking System can dramatically increase the productivity and
accountability of individual employees by providing a documented workflow and
positive feedback for good performance.

Some salient features are …

1. Product and Component based


2. Creating & Changing Bugs at ease
3. Query Bug List to any depth
4. Reporting & Charting in more comprehensive way
5. User Accounts to control the access and maintain security
6. Simple Status & Resolutions
7. Multi-level Priorities & Severities.
8. Targets & Milestones for guiding the programmers
9. Attachments & Additional Comments for more information
10. Robust database back-end

1.1.1 Existing System

In any software development bugs are inevitable. Let it be in any kind of


product bugs arise at any phase of development. one has to take a great care in the
proper maintenance and resolution of the bugs. In the Existing system the bugs are
not properly maintained and they are simply relied on shared lists and email to
monitor the bugs. In this type of system it becomes difficult to track a bug if a bug
is over looked then it may cause tremendous errors in the next phase and can
improve the cost of project what ever necessary effort spent on the bug
maintenance may not be worthy. So bug history has to be maintained properly.
And there is no efficient search technique. One has to search the whole database
for the details of particular bug which might have occurred some time earlier. It is
both time consuming and error prone. And it is very difficult to share the bug
among several users as there is no proper maintenance of the bugs.
In order to have an efficient product bugs must be maintained properly and should be resolved in
time both to reduce time and money spent on the development.

1.1.2 Proposed System

The proposed system has many advantages over the existing system. This system
maintains the products, Bugs and bug Tracking. It has advantage of maintaining bug history it
stores all the details from bug origin to bug resolution. So that it would not be difficult for the
user to know how much effort spent on the bug. Each product can have versions for easy
maintenance of the product and all the user of the product is stored in the database. It provides
the advantage of maintaining users to the bugs and resolutions provided by them. This product
provides efficient search technique. As the number of bugs for a product increases tremendously
it would be difficult to search for a single record. Our system provides the searching based on
status, priority, and operating system. It provides with user and bug hierarchy, which would be
helpful in knowing the relation between bugs and users allotted to the bug. It is provided with a
fully authenticated system with password encryption. And has the facility for storing attachments
for a bug. One can keep a track of the bug in a product with much lower cost and effort. The
most advantage of this system is maintaining log records which are helpful in knowing any
errors or misuse of the system by other users.
