Bugzilla - Overview

Bugzilla 是一个开源工具，用于跟踪项目或软件的缺陷和问题。它帮助开发人员和其他利益相关者跟踪产品中未解决的问题。

Bugzilla is an open-source tool used to track bugs and issues of a project or a software. It helps the developers and other stakeholders to keep track of outstanding problems with the product.

  1. It was written by Terry Weissman in TCL programming language in 1998.

  2. Later, Bugzilla was written in PERL and it uses the MYSQL database.

  3. Bugzilla can be used as a Test Management tool since it can be easily linked with other test case management tools like Quality Centre, ALM, Testlink, etc.

  4. Bugzilla provides a powerful, easy to use solution to configuration management and replication problems.

  5. It can dramatically increase the productivity and accountability of an individual by providing a documented workflow and positive feedback for good performance.

在 Bugzilla 的早期，大多数商业和缺陷跟踪软件供应商都收取高昂的许可费。因此，Bugzilla 迅速成为开源用户中的最爱，因为它起源于 Mozilla 的开源浏览器项目。它现在是最有价值的缺陷跟踪系统，所有其他系统都以此为衡量标准。

Most commercial and defect-tracking software vendors charged enormous licensing fees in the starting days of Bugzilla. As a result, Bugzilla quickly became a favorite among the open-source users, due to its genesis in the open-source browser project with Mozilla. It is now the most precious defect-tracking system against which all the others are measured.

Bugzilla 将力量掌握在个人手中，以便在为自然关注细节和知识存储提供可用框架蓬勃发展的同时，提高业务价值。

Bugzilla puts the power in an individual’s hand to improve the value of business while providing a usable framework for natural attention to detail and knowledge store to flourish.
