BUGZILLA REVIEWS PATCH
BUGZILLA REVIEWS SOFTWARE

The author of the patch is usually the one who revises the patch if it gets a '-' on its review.

If you disagree with a review, just respond to it in the comments! This isn't a dictatorship, it's an open-source community. This means that he's just 'nitpicking'-you don't have to fix these points, but we'd like you to. Sometimes the reviewer will prefix his comments with 'Nit:'. You should attach a new patch with those things fixed, and request review again. He/she will include comments about what needs to be fixed. If there are things you need to fix before we can accept the patch, the reviewer will change the review flag to a '-'. If there are things you need to fix, the reviewer will mark it with a '-'. If the reviewer thinks your patch is acceptable, he will change the review flag to a '+'. How do you know who's the right reviewer? Use the List of Reviewers, which explains the whole thing. You want to set this to '?' and put the username of the correct Bugzilla reviewer in the box next to the '?'. When you attach your patch, you'll see a 'review' flag. 2.2 What If I'm Waiting Too Long for My Review?.Simply takes me less time to find what I need compared to our new system. Little secret: even though all data from Bugzilla was copied to our new bug tracker when we made the switch, I still tend to go first to Bugzilla if I need to find an old bug.

For the rare cases where it doesn't, the 'Advanced Search' definitely does the job, while really being 'advanced' but in no way 'complicated'. Usually, jotting a keyword or two in the 'Simple Search' is enough to find exactly what you need. This is a point where OTRS definitely scores. One of the key aspects of a bug tracker is definitely the performance of its search functionality. Even some of our sales guys were easily and independently filing new bugs or searching for existing bugs, and that's definitely saying something. This implies there is no or only minor explanation needed to get started with Bugzilla. The most common things are but a click away. No options hidden behind mysterious hamburger menus or gear wheel icons. No need to navigate through different submenus to do even the simplest of tasks. Very simple and clean, everything does what you expect it to do.

BUGZILLA REVIEWS SOFTWARE

It's a school book example of how great free and open source software can be. To cut right to the chase: as a user / bug reporter, Bugzilla was a dream to work with. Up until about a year ago, Bugzilla was the bug tracking application used in our company. Overall Bugzilla has a proven track record of being a very good tool - esp for start-ups with less money and/or either a company or a new sub-department within the organization - where the management doesn't want to invest a lot of money.īut with good process definition and proper implementation(which will also help in long) these shortcomings can be overcome. The other paid tools have good customizability - defining the workflows or even showing proper labels. I felt the UI needs some improvement - alongwith Usability.Ģ. If you are looking for a free ware tool - esp where you need to start from scratch and have a limited budget, then look no further.ġ. Though the UI has a few things to be desired and you need to circumvent the lack of usability, but some good user training(which you will anyways be giving with process implementation with your team) helps a lot. It is easy to set up and host on your office system. This was the market pioneer for free-ware bug tracking.
