Bug Tracking System

Abstract:

Bug Tracking System is the system which enable to detect the bugs. It not merely detects the bugs but provides the complete information regarding bugs detected.Bug Tracking System

ensures the user of it who needs to know about a provide information regarding the identified bug. Using this no bug will be unfixed in the developed application.The developer develops the

project as per customer requirements. In the testing phase the tester will identify the bugs. Whenever the tester encounter Ëœn number of bugs he adds the bug id and information in the database.The tester reports to both project manager and developer. The bug details in the

database table are accessible to both project manager and developer.When a customer puts request or orders for a product to be developed. The project manager is responsible for adding

users to Bus Tracking System and assigning projects to the users. The project manager assigns projects to the developers. The developer develops the projects as

per customer requirements. The project manager itself assigns the developed applications to the Testers for testing. The tester tests the application and identify the bugs in the application. When

the tester encounter no. of bugs, he generates a unique id number for each individual bug. The bug information along with its id are mailed to the project manager and developer. This is Bug Report. These are stored in the database. This is useful for further reference.

Bug information includes the bug id, bug name, bug priority, project name, bug location, bug

type. This whole process continues until all the bugs are got fixed in the application. The bug report is mailed to the project manager and the developer as soon as the bug is

identified. This makes that no error will go unfixed because of poor communication. It makes ensure that anyone who needs to know about a bug can learn of it soon after it is reported.

Bug Tracking System plays an vital role in the testing phase. But it supports assigning projects for the developer, tester by the project manager. The Bug Tracking System maintains the

different users separately i.e., it provides separate environments for project manager, developer and tester.

Existing System:

In the existing system, the project manager assigns the projects to the developers. The developers develops the projects as per customer requirements. The project manager itself assign the

developed applications to the tester for testing. In the testing phase, when the tester encounters no. of bugs then he reports to the project manager and developer about the bug information.

Bottlenecks of the Existing System:

The tester report which is called Bug Report is in the form of physical document. If the document is damaged then the total information about the bug will be lost.

The bug information is not stored in the database for future reference.

Proposed System:

The purpose of the Bug Tracking System is to test the application for the bugs and report it to the project manager and developer. The main intention behind the Bug Tracking System is that to

track bugs and report them. Store the bug information with a unique id in the database for future reference. So, this makes the job of handling the bugs easy.The project entitled "Bug tracking

system" is an online bug tracking tool initiated with the objective to setup a user-friendly Online bug tracking system. It can be used both for bug tracking and for project management. In this system the project manager can have full details of the work assigned to each team member.

Moreover when a new work comes he can assign the work to different persons by having a view at the programmer with minimum work. This software assists to track the work flow of the work

given to each team member by a project leader.This software assists the project managers , the team members and equally the top officials of a software company to know how the work is progressing. Project usually comes to the company in the form of bugs. Usually, when certain

enhancements of a product is being done i.e. when. certain version updates a product is being done, work is assigned to different programmers in the form of Bugs.

This software is mainly focused on the work coming in the form of Bugs. The project manager can fully understand what the status of each bug is ;whether it is fixed, assigned, or wontfix.

Objectives of the Bug Tracking System:

The main objectives of the Bug Tracking System are:

-Identifying the bugs in the developed application. -No bug will be unfixed in the developed application.

-Not merely identifying the bugs but also providing the bug information. As soon as the bugs are identified. They are reported to the project manager and developer.

To ensure that who needs to know about the bug can learn soon after it is reported.
