Defect Tracking and Issue Management Products

The tester’s job is truly chaotic in the sense that they not only have to test the software product to make sure that it conforms to the user requirements but also spend their precious time in sending status reports as to the defects filed. Most of these problems would not rise if they have the support of a good defect tracking management. Now there are advanced test management systems available with an inbuilt defect tracking system.

These systems would surely make the status reports a thing of the past, since it facilitates live tracking which updates the defects filed instantaneously in neat charts. These charts contain all the details like where the defects are, their priorities and where the backlogs are. This will speed up the process of fixing the bugs by the developers and the verification as well as the closing of the fixed bugs by the testers.

These defect tracking systems come with integration to Bugzilla thus reducing the testers’ job to half. So these kinds of test management systems are a good investment as it facilitates the shipping of software products on time.
