By using such a solution, a quality assurance engineer can directly tag the failing test case into its associated bug report. This saves the effort of having to duplicate the steps run to reproduce the defect. DefSource is ca- pable of providing intelligent reports that can be used by management teams to make important decisions such as the readiness of the product to be shipped. Development and Quality assurance teams can also use these reports to gauge the progress of their respective teams. DefSource provides a search feature that can be used to filter test cases, bug reports and helps generate specific reports. Being a web based solution, DefSource is accessible to anyone irrespective of their physical location. This approach is especially useful for distributed teams which need 24/7 access to such a tool. DefSource is therefore operating system independent ix and has little to no footprint on the physical machine on which it is accessed. Since DefSource will be used by multiple teams for different reasons, the user interface is tai- lored based on the user role. For example, the primary view for the QA user is test case module whereas the development user has access to the bug tracking module. x CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This

Prakash5 1Assistant Professor, KSR Institute for Engineering and Technology, Tiruchengode. 2,3,4,5Department of Computer Science And Engineering, KSR Institute for Engineering and Technology, Tiruchengode. ABSTRACT This is the world of information. The ever-growing field Information Technology has its many advanced notable features which made it what it was now today. In this world, the information has to be processed, clearly distributed and must be efficiently reachable to the end users intended for that. Otherwise, we know it led to disastrous situations. The other coin of the same phase is it is absolutely necessary to know any bugs that are hither-to face by the end users. The project “e-bug tracking system” aims to provide the solution for that. The Bug Tracker can be made from any two types. The first one being the system side, the other being the services side. Our project deals with the second one. The paper is wholly dedicated to tracking the bugs that are hither- by arise. The administrator maintains the master details regarding to the bugs id, bugs type, bugs description, bugs severity, bugs status, user details. The administrator too has the authority to update the master details of severity level, status level, etc, modules of the paper. The administrator adds the users and assign them responsibility of completing the paper. Finally, on analysing the paper assigned to the particular user, the administrator can track the bugs, and it is automatically added to the tables containing the bugs, by order of severity and status.

  • The Ultimate Guide to Project Management Learn Everything You Need to Successfully Manage Projects and Get Them Done
    The Ultimate Guide to Project Management Learn everything you need to successfully manage projects and get them done Zapier © 2016 Zapier Inc. It started as an idea, that next amazing thing your team is going to do. Perhaps you’ll build the next big thing, add a feature your users have been waiting for, or write that book you’ve been thinking about for years. Perhaps you’ll put a man on Mars, or land a rocket on a boat, or reinvent the car. Perhaps. But first, you’ll need a plan. Plans map your path, list what it takes to get there, and what needs done first. They’re the essential ingredient to making sure your rocket has enough fuel, that you have a team ready to launch it, and that you actually build the rocket in the first place. They’re what make project management work. There’s no set way to make a plan, nothing you must do to get from zero to hero. But there are a handful of popular project management strategies, dozens of project management apps, and an entire ecosystem of tools to gather feedback and set deadlines and track time and manage those projects. You’re ready to launch that rocket, but first, it’s back to the basics. It’s time for Project Management 101. In this book, you’ll learn everything you need to know about project management. You’ll find detailed overviews of the most popular project management strategies, advice from teams around the world on how they manage projects, and roundups of the best tools to help your projects flow smoothly.

  • Modern Open Source Java EE-Based Process and Issue Tracker
    MASARYK UNIVERSITY FACULTY}w¡¢£¤¥¦§¨ OF I !"#$%&'()+,-./012345<yA|NFORMATICS Modern open source Java EE-based process and issue tracker DIPLOMA THESIS Monika Gottvaldová Brno, 2014 Declaration Hereby I declare, that this paper is my original authorial work, which I have worked out by my own. All sources, references and literature used or excerpted during elaboration of this work are properly cited and listed in complete reference to the due source. Monika Gottvaldová Advisor: doc. RNDr. Tomáš Pitner, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgement I would like to thank Ing. OndˇrejŽižka for his advice and help during the creation of this thesis. iii Abstract This thesis deals with the topic concerning issue tracking systems, their functionality and features. It compares several issue tracking systems, their advantages and disadvantages. It describes a development of such a sys- tem and the use of modern Java EE technologies – JPA, Wicket, and CDI. The main motivation for creating a new issue tracking system and the sub- sequent development is also described. The thesis analyses its basic design and implementation. iv Keywords Issue tracking system, Wicket, modern Java EE, issue, bug, workflow, cus- tomization v Contents 1 Introduction ...............................1 2 Issue Tracking Systems ........................3 2.1 Bugzilla . .4 2.2 Trac . .6 2.3 JIRA . .7 2.4 Mantis . .8 2.5 BugTracker.NET . .9 2.6 Redmine . 10 2.7 FogBugz . 11 3 Analysis of Relevant Processes in Red Hat ............. 14 3.1 RHEL 6 QE . 14 3.1.1 Process Phases Description . 14 3.1.2 Bugzilla Process . 15 3.2 Fedora QE . 16 3.2.1 Process Phases Description .
