A bugtracker is a software application used by developers for keeping tracks of reported bugs in their work.

Why should developers use bugtrackers for their applications?

Bugtrackers gives both developers and users a lot of benefits.

Developers:

  • They are notified when a bug is found in their applications
  • They keep track of reported bugs so that they can organize their work
  • They can easily communicate with reporters if they need more information or further testing

Users:

  • They can easily report the bugs they find and help to fix them
  • They can give developers tips and suggestions

What makes a bugtracker valid?

Requirement proposal: After clicking bugtracker link, you can start filing a bug right away or just after clicking one link at maximum at the page that opens. --ossipena 09:38, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Requirement proposal: Bug report has to be directly noticed to the maintainer. --torpedo48 9:57, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
