Bug database template beta available for free download

Around two months ago clintc made a post asking if anyone would be interested in a light-weight bug tracking template, and the response was overwhelming. Well, I am happy to announce that we have taken the time to put together just such a template, and better still, that we’re releasing a beta version to get your feedback.

Bug tracking means a lot of things to a lot of people, and part of our previous blog post was to elicit feedback to help us scope the application and it’s features to provide the best bug tracker for the most people. That being said, the responses were pretty varied but proved to be very useful.

After working it through we decided to go with a lightweight bug tracking application that should be very easy to use with very little learning curve. One thing that we wanted to avoid was duplicating a complex bug tracking solution such as Bugzilla, as we saw a lot of value in keeping it simple and quick to load up and go.

All in all, we are very happy with the results, and look forward to feedback on how it can be even more useful.

Here is a quick screenshot of the details form:

  • Thanks for this one! I'm having trouble viewing the help videos for the bugs database though. Are they supposed to be embedded?

  • I can't run the videos either. Just see two grey rectrangles with a diagonal stripe through each. "Video using the bugs database", "Video modifying the bugs databse" - neither clickable.

  • Sorry about that, I should have made it more clear. Those rectangles are just there as placeholders, the videos will put in for the final release.
