Good open source bug/workitem tracking software

[Erick Thompson]

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good bug/workitem tracking
system? FogBugz would be my first choice, but I'm hoping for something
that can integrate with AD security, so we don't have to maintain a
duplicate set of usernames/passwords.

 

TFS may be an option - assuming that I can ever get over the learning
curve. J

 

Thanks,

Erick

For smaller teams, I'm using Trac (simple to setup, simple to use,
integrated Wiki). I've used RT in the past (harder to customize, but once
set up it works) and bugzilla.

If you can spend some (there is open  source in the subject?) then you might
want to take a look at Jira which is very flexible.

TFS? No thank you. I was not satisfied with it. Performance was poor and so
was the customizations.

As for the AD integration, I'm sure you can do that with Trac (it relies on
Apache auth) and Jira as well.

hth,

JetBrains now has one. It integrates with TeamCity and uses that to make
links to the commits in the repos. What SCM are you using?

bugzilla also supports AD integration

[bittercoder]

+ 1 For Redmine, it's nice.

I'm using Trac as well for a few older projects - AD Integration was fairly
easy to set up and works well.

+1 for redmine. You can find simplified installer on www.bitnami.org, which
will setup rails, mysql and redmine for you, all at once. It also integrates
with bunch of source control tools.

I've been using Bugtracker.net <http://ifdefined.com/bugtrackernet.html>
which integrates with AD, along with VisualSVN integrated with AD.  Plus,
Bugtracker offers SVN integration so you can see related check-ins on the
Bugtracker UI, and bugIDs on the SVN UI.  Probably best for smaller
projects, but I haven't used it long so I'm not sure about how well it would
handle larger ones.

I don't think FogBugz or TFS is open source. Is open source a requirement?

We use 5x8 Post-It notes.  Green for stories, Yellow for small tweaks
(change label, etc.), Orange for bugs.  For individual tasks for stories, we
use lined Post-It index cards.  We fought *very* hard not to have an
electronic solution, as everyone was in the same room.  Even if a remote
user generates a bug, it still gets made into an orange card, and put up on
our big task board.

Here is my experience, with each of those i managed small to medium sized
hobby and commercial projects

Trac
Started with this, managed most of the projects with it, it feels fast,
simple, and agile. the thing is that its very open
and easy to modify and extend that if you have the time, modifying can be
your pet project itself.
I stopped using it when i felt i don't have the overview i want over all of
my projects. it has nothing in terms of
overview, dashboard, summary, which gets really annoying because you spend a
lot of time deciding what to do next.

Redmine
With this, i had all of Trac's functionality, better looking, and i had an
average amount of overview over all of my projects.
the advantage is that it allows you to manage many projects at once. it
feels as good as the paid alternatives out there
like assembla and unfuddle, only lacking in functionaliy. what got annoying
quickly is the fact that it is very slow and feels
bulky. some of the things with it just dont feel right, in a workflow point
of view.

TargetProcess
tried it as soon as i was able to get over that this was not open source,
(however you get free 5-dev license).
It is VERY good. it gives you all of the tracking you need, including issue
tracking for clients, developers, bug tracking, test plans, and to top it
all it gives you everything in an
agile atmosphere. i'm able to say to myself - i've got 2 hours - what can i
do? and pick a task right from it and start working.
it is extremely efficient, fast. thats where i'm staying for now. bad points
- its a bit ugly, and microsoft oriented.


i also tried JIRA (felt bulky), bugzilla (felt OLD) etc.
hope it helps.

Redmine is super fast. Just install it on a Linux box. Apparently Apache's
running on Windows is the culprit.

I find that it is also fast enough on Windows. We run bunch of projects
through it, and have no performance issues. However, AFAIK it is served by
mongrel, and not by apache (i am not a ruby/rails guy, so please forgive if
I am talking nonsense). We installed it from one of the bitnami stacks and I
never really bothered checking the details, because it was running
flawlessly out of the box.

You are probably right, as this was another individual who installed
it here. This was via a Bitnami stack as well.

We installed it from one of the bitnami stacks and I never really bothered checking the details, because it was running flawlessly out of the box.

Perhaps it had to do with the fact that i used SQLite with redmine then. I
was planning on saving everything on a USB stick later,
so i could have my portable issue tracking with me. that didn't work so well
though (it was even slower).

Reason being is that I use issue tracking for everything, even grocery and
todo lists.

That's hard core

OSS is not a requirement, but a reasonable cost is. We're a non-profit
organization, so we can get MS software fairly cheaply, but FogBugz is
too costly.

 

For source control, I am planning to use SVN (via VisualSVN), so
integration with that would be a benefit. AD integration is always good,
as that way I have one less set up of logins to worry about!

 

I'll take a look at the recommended package...

 

Thanks,

Erick

I don't think FogBugz or TFS is open source. Is open source a
requirement?

TFS may be an option - assuming that I can ever get over the learning
