Easy and Powerful
Key attributes include extreme ease-of-use and flexibility, a shared repository accessible to multiple users, multiple projects with assigned responsibilities, configurable access and privileges for users on each project. Virtually everything in QuickBugs is configurable to the organization and specific user needs including data collection fields, workflow, views, queries, reports, security and access control.
Standard XML Storage
QuickBugs is a single executable that implements cooperative clients of a shared repository of XML based files. This eliminates the cost, complexity and overhead of RDBMS and DLL dependencies. Given its XML based foundation, all bugs, views, queries, reports and configuration data are completely accessible to third party tools.
Custom Views & Queries
Managers, developers, testers and others involved in the development process can use QuickBugs to enter or retrieve the specific data they need to efficiently perform their jobs. Managers can assign work, estimate personnel workloads, track time required for project completion and determine release dates based on bug detection and resolution statistics. Developers can efficiently investigate and resolve problems that are categorized, prioritized and sorted to their specific needs. Testers can quickly generate bug reports and verify corrected problems while easily evaluating the efficiency of detection methods for locating new bugs. QuickBugs automatically maintains the workflow, access control and history of each bug as it progresses through its lifecycle.
Event Based Notifications
Email notifications alert managers, developers, testers and others when an event has occurred that requires their attention. Highly targeted email messages get generated based on specific trigger events. Each notification event is triggered when a condition occurs that may include any combination of field values in a bug report. A list of users and roles can be associated with each notification event. Roles like Manager, QA and Tester allow notifications to be easily re-targeted as people change projects or responsibilities. To cover for someone on a long vacation or business trip, use the carbon copy feature to get copies of their notifications sent to you.
