Bugzilla Erfahrungen

Best software bug tracking software

Vorteile:

Ease of use, all the features are available for the dev and testing team to track bugs. Mail notification, mail notification customisation. Searching and preset search. I literally like all the features in this product.

Nachteile:

UI could be improved a lot instead of the monotonous old UI.

A great, but isolated bugtracker

Kommentare: Creating and finding bugs in a matter of seconds, completely hassle-free.

Vorteile:

Up until about a year ago, Bugzilla was the bug tracking application used in our company. To cut right to the chase: as a user / bug reporter, Bugzilla was a dream to work with. It's a school book example of how great free and open source software can be. The interface is no nonsense. Very simple and clean, everything does what you expect it to do. No need to navigate through different submenus to do even the simplest of tasks. No options hidden behind mysterious hamburger menus or gear wheel icons. The most common things are but a click away. This implies there is no or only minor explanation needed to get started with Bugzilla. Even some of our sales guys were easily and independently filing new bugs or searching for existing bugs, and that's definitely saying something. One of the key aspects of a bug tracker is definitely the performance of its search functionality. This is a point where OTRS definitely scores. Its search is very fast and precise. Usually, jotting a keyword or two in the "Simple Search" is enough to find exactly what you need. For the rare cases where it doesn't, the "Advanced Search" definitely does the job, while really being "advanced" but in no way "complicated". 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. Simply takes me less time to find what I need compared to our new system.

Nachteile:

I do understand why we moved away from Bugzilla. It is merely a bug tracker. Bugs are meant to be linked to tickets, added to sprint plannings, maybe assigned to epics together with new features. You get the point. Bugzilla wasn't made for that. Our new platform can do it all and more, in one single system.

Best Old Bug management tool ever

Nachteile:

-Apart from freeware tool sometimes it was having issues like searching and fetching report issue , getting freeze or suddenly stopped if clicked multiple times. -It could have been better if different features have been offered other than Bug reporting solely like Test cases management. -User interface can be improved with easy understanding of reporting of bugs and there details

Good option for test case management

Kommentare: Its a great tool, if you have time and resources to install it and maintain it, it will serve you well in all your projects.

Vorteile:

This is free software, that you can create your own server for it, and have total control over it. Configuration, users, permissions, etc. The only limit is the resources you are willing to invest in it.

Nachteile:

Since this is free open source software, you have all the responsibility for maintaining your implementation of it. There is a big community using it, but you won't have direct support.

Bugzilla Review

Kommentare: Excellent experience

Vorteile:

This is the best tool for bug tracking tool. User can search bug easily with multiple search options . All notifications are done via email, so make it very user friendly any update on bug will be notified to concern person or group. Scheduled reporting is another feature which is very useful.

Nachteile:

Nothing much for this section. but this tool have less integrations with other 3rd party tools.like git

Best open source bug tracking solution

Kommentare: Bugzilla is best open source solution for tracking issues. I have used it my previous company and was quite satisfied with it.

Vorteile:

Tracking issues in better way is one of the most challenging task in software industry. Bugzilla not only by default provides one window solution for bug tracking but also since it is open source solution i can customize it for my need. Highly recommended if you want to design customize flow for issues tracking.

Nachteile:

Although bugzilla provides all the features to handle tasks and user stories but product name give impression that it is specific to bugs only. This create confusion among new employees and they hesitate in using it for tasks and user stories.

Track your bugs with Bugzilla

Vorteile:

Bugzilla is an open source tools that I use to efficiently track issues. It comes with tons of useful features like: email notifications and reports & charts It is very customizable flexible. It's also not too difficult to use. Bugzilla gives me the ability to collaborate with my team without setting up meetings and the ease of logging, tracking and closing defects.

Nachteile:

I think the UI could be better improved because the themes that are available online aren't the best. Bugzilla is an old tool so some additional work need to be done so that it can better align with the Agile practice.

Great bug tracking tool!

Kommentare: Overall, I had an excellent experience with this tool. It is very easy to setup and use!

Vorteile:

Bugzilla has a simple, intuitive, and easy to use interface. It provides all the standard features you would expect from a tracking tool, such as tracking versions, resolution progress and history, filters, basic and advanced searching, and others. Many aspects of the tool are customizable. It is easy to install and set up, even for novice users. Email notifications are very useful as well when you want to get notified of updates to certain bug tickets.

Nachteile:

Although the interface is made very simplistically, it is a bit visually unappealing to me. The GUI makes it look like software from two decades ago.

USed to love it

Kommentare: It was helping to keep bugs and all the issues, but it was seriously lacking a lot of functionality that any software company needs. No idea if it's any better today as I've been only using Jira for years by now.

Vorteile:

i didnt know any better and we could only wish for something like Jira :) It didnt exist then, so Bugzilla kind of worked for us, even though it was very buggy in those years.

Nachteile:

It was failing pretty often, not much functionality at all, only some very basic functions. Comparing to Jira today, it was a very beginning of such products.

Bugzilla for bugs

Kommentare: I have used it for almost one year and have very good experience for this bug tracking software.

Vorteile:

Bug management software basically used to create and track the bugs in the application . It chart and graphs feature is very useful to see the progress of the bugs.

Nachteile:

It is good but now their is many software who handle the bugs and project in single frame , so we do not need to purchase the software for only bug tracking.

Great at Tracking bugs

Kommentare: Easily track bugs and ability to report bugs on project update.
The email notification was great to see status of individual bugs
The ease of use was a no-brainer
The cost was relatively cheap compared to others in the market

Vorteile:

Bugzilla has been around for years and I have used it on many projects. The ease of use of logging bugs and email notifications sent automatically to preset groups to be aware of bugs. Viewing status of bugs is an ease as assigned bugs get updated by bug owners. Another great tool included with Bugzilla is the reporting matrix, which allows the Test Lead and other Project leads to view all bugs and statuses.

Nachteile:

The GUI is quite old looking but the web app does do what it needs to. There are more superior applications out there with more functionality and depending on what you were intending to use the application for you may opt for something like Jira.

Good, but a bit outdated on-prem issue-tracking solution

Vorteile:

It's a robust issue-tracking suite with all the features you'd need: admin-side control over exposed fields and forms, workflows, good security, watching issues, notifications, etc. Fairly inexpensive if you're willing to go through the trouble of installing and maintaining it on your own servers.

Nachteile:

In a world where everyone is moving towards the cloud, on-prem solutions seem outdated, lack the required level of integrations with other cloud software and require skills that are harder to find for deployment and maintenance. The UI also feels a bit from the 90ies and won't make your developers or QA community particularly happy. Overall, I find that the learning curve of Bugzilla is a bit longer than that of cloud-based systems like Jira.

Bugzilla review

BugZilla one of the best free issue trackers

Nachteile:

No UI skins today UI in new projects are more buitifull

It does what it needs to do

Vorteile:

It can easily be customized and the states are clear. Functionality-wise, it worked well for tracking task items.

Great and easy to use, but productivity-wise needs improvement

Kommentare: Debugging and testing software.

Very cheap, perpetual license, and comes with a wide range of common features.

Because raising issues is a very frequent task, I find it not very convenient, especially when I didn't find shortcut keys.
