Good option for test case management

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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: The grandad of modern bug tracking software

Bugzilla has been a part of our organization's roster of bug tracking tools for as far as I can remember, and has always been simple, effective and up to the mark in terms of managing large applications with a large number of issues being reported by an active QA team all day, every day.

Pros

Bugzilla has always been, and always will be one of the best and most well-known bug tracking tools. It is so well-known that it will get used as the basic yardstick against which other newer tools are measured. That being said, Bugzilla provides a simple interface which gets you towards getting your job done, which is to report/fix bugs, in a hurry. The controls are intuitive and self-explanatory. You don't need a huge manual to figure it out.

Cons

Throughout the years Bugzilla has been quite clunky at times with saved bug reports not getting saved, search not working properly etc., but the modern version has next to no issues.

Bugzilla Review

it was an amazing experience working with it and tracking all the bugs.

Pros

Creating and tracking new bugs as it is sending email when anything change in the bug and this is amazing

Cons

some times crash when other people try to change the same bug that i am changing at the same time and this is annoying me.

The best free bug-tracker.

This was the market pioneer for free-ware bug tracking. It is easy to set up and host on your office system. 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. 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. Major cons - 1. I felt the UI needs some improvement - alongwith Usability. 2. The other paid tools have good customizability - defining the workflows or even showing proper labels. 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. But with good process definition and proper implementation(which will also help in long) these shortcomings can be overcome. Though

Pros

1. Free of cost with updates. 2. Easy of installation. 3. Browser compatible- with most of the varieties of standard ones.

Cons

1. UI design not attractive. 2. Customization difficult.

One of the best tool for tracking issues

A handy tool for beginners, good tracking of the issues and all the emails are sent perfectly for every issue. We have resolved many issues of some of our softwares with it's help. The team is happy with the information tracking on issues.

Pros

We can link so many people to an issue and any findings will be reported to all the people in the email list. The database capabilities are very optimized. I think there is no match to bugzilla when it comes to pricing, an open source alternative to our worries. We have some great login options availaible with bugzilla.

Cons

Weak support with third party tools and low integration is making it fade. However a large community always has answers to your questions, but some questions still goes unanswered.

Bugzilla was my app of choice until I found out how much was missing

It's plug and play and works in the way that makes sense for most people.

Pros

The ease of use and status-focus allows Bugzilla to be extremely approachable and for a tiny team, it works well. I never have had to explain it to anyone; engineers just pick it up instant.

Cons

Reporting is a limitation for Bugzilla. For me, to keep close track of workflows, Bugzilla just fails me and it's why I changed to another system.

Bugzilla Review

Excellent experience

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Bugzilla use for bug tracking and its open source tool.

I am using Bugzilla in my day to day activity. Its up to the marks. It can manage my daily activity of bugs.

Pros

Bugzilla is a bug tracking tool. It is an open source project for mozilla. Its best for test case management. We dont need to buy the license for bugzilla. Its completely free. Some of the key features are; Wide range of formats for bug lists. We can track the time. Informative report. Watch other user options. Last but not the least, we can use lot of Add-on.

Cons

UI is not much user friendly like old fashioned and unattractive. And kind of bit slow. Other than that its really good and ofcourse free.

Track your bugs with Bugzilla

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Best Old Bug management tool ever

Based on my experience Bugzilla is good option for start up business. In Budget with all features in one tool for defect management Easy to learn and understand able for a team. Less Training required

Pros

First up all it's free tool and easy to understand since it mostly focus on bug management . -No manual needed to start up in this tool. -Customized User interface for better user experience - Team can easily fetch bug reports with all details and circulate - Non technical person can also understand and use it without knowing full functionality -Best for small companies who wants to start up with less budget

Cons

-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

A great, but isolated bugtracker

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

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Great at Tracking bugs

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

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

A simple open source tool with essential features

Overall, Bugzilla is a very good open source product which makes it a good choice for new and small businesses. it has most of the essential features to manage bugs and very easy to install, use and manage even for new users.

Pros

Being an open source tool makes Bugzilla am an excellent choice for new and medium-sized businesses. It has very simple, clear, easy to use interfaces which is a very good choice for beginners too. Other than managing defects and tracking them, it offers an array of simple reporting tools and also it allows to manage multiple projects at the same time. Very easy installation.

Cons

Bugzilla lacks customization features. It also lacks detailed reports. When it comes to reporting bugs, it allows attachments, but the attachment size is limited. Project level documentation is absent.

Simple tool for defect tracking

It serves our needs for tracking defects and validation activities for our client development projects.

Pros

The tool is pretty easy to use. Saved filters/searches help keep track of pending tickets. Workflows can be programmed to track the status of a bug through a specified lifecycle.

Cons

Not sure if it's a limitation of the product or the way it was configured, but there don't appear to be role-specific restrictions on who can move a ticket to a specific status. For example - only a tester should be able to close a defect bug, but really any user can close as long as it's an available step in the workflow.

Awesome Product

Pros

An Open Source project that can be used with the largest software that you plan on developing to keep track of bugs among hundreds of people. Before this software came out in 2011, I was always looking for something more effective to mark and track bugs in my software. Bugzilla is extremely easy to use and at the same functions perfectly for any project that you or your company are working on.

Cons

I haven't found anything wrong with this software besides fighting bugs in mine or other peoples programs.

A versatile tool to log and track tickets.

Pros

I find bugzilla easy to use with a good set of options which helped me to log defects and track them. This was extensively used in my previous workplace and the general consensus was positive. The bug status and resolution parameters with a set of APIs made it easy to have a wrapper around it and use it extensively in our automation. The notifications and search filters came in handy more often than I expected.

Cons

The UI has not aged well and looks dated. It needs a refresh which could attract more users. This tool has potential and could be used to track other issues and stories. Could be bettered to fit the agile model.

Easy to work with open source software

Pros

The best part about bugzilla is about it being free and open source which gives smaller companies with limited resources, power to install and maintain their own of bug tracking with bugzilla

Cons

The free version had a lot of limitations when it came to tracking the life cycle of the bugs and at the same time linking it with Agile tracking software was a pain too since we had to keep using soft links everywhere

Great free alternatives to JIRA

Overall this product has been a great tool for our project management needs.

Pros

BugZilla was easy to set up, very easy to customize, and a nice budget solution to teams wanting to get started with project management.

Cons

The User Interface for BugZilla is not as sleek as other products like JIRA from Atlassian. But, if you can get around that, it has wonderful features and customizability.

Cons

will be good if we can prepare "Help" Tutorial for this for new customer. This is easy to understand in current state but if a link to tutorials videos made user requires no external training

Pros

Mature software, good management of bug history, versions, for multiple products, very customizeable as well.

Sufficient bug-tracking system for small projects

Pros

I thing the biggest advantage of Bugzilla is how easy it is to navigate across reported issues data. One more thing I liked is short installation and learning curve. We were a small project of 30 people and we needed something cheap and easy to onboard for bug tracking. We never regret we went for Bugzilla.

Cons

Only available via web UI. Works really slow via mobile browser.

Really good experience, I keep using it on Firefox.

Pros

It was the first developer helper when firefox didn't used its own. I like the way it displays services benchmarks and its console better.

BugZilla one of the best free issue trackers

Cons

No UI skins today UI in new projects are more buitifull

It does what it needs to do

Pros

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

Cons

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

Debugging and testing software.

Pros

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