Joel on Software

2000/05/04

I'm interested in hearing how people are tracking bugs in their code.

There are a few commercial bug tracking database products, like Rational ClearQuest, and some public domain ones, like Bugzilla, but most people seem to be rolling their own.

I'm working on an article about bug tracking. Do you do formal bug tracking? What's the sociology of bug tracking? What tools do you use? What do you like about them and dislike about them? Write me!

College students: my company has paid summer internships in New York City, including free housing, free lunch, and the chance to develop software people will really use, with great mentors on interesting projects. Don't miss this chance of a lifetime. We only have a few spaces and they always go fast, so apply today.
