Fbug Features

Tags: — February 26, 2006 (7 comments)

Float Bug, or Fucking Bugs, depending on your mood is my brand-new-still-completely-shinny bug tracking application. So shinny, that very, very little code has been written, as of yet.

My question, quite simply, is what do people need from a web based bug tracking application.

The provisional feature list is as follows:

  • Damned easy to use UI
  • Multiple versions of a single product (but not multiple products)
  • (Linear) Comments on the bug
  • File uploads, allowing patch files, as well as other file types, to be attached to a bug
  • Assigning bugs to members
  • Bug status
  • Categorisation of bugs
  • Bug priority
  • Atom feeds to watch a certain bug, or to watch those bugs flow in! :)

My question is quite simple: What other features do people want, if at all?

    some ideas:
    -Bug History (I.E: reported, assigned, fixed, patched, closed etc)
    -Bug Statistics (average assignation/resolution times etc tied to the above)
    -Auto Report API (SOAP or similar)
    -Auto Patch API (not shure about this one)
    -occurences (if someone notices the bug already posted they can ++ the occurence so you can get an idea how many people are affected)

    1. Undoubtedly, just missed that out from the first list
    2. Not really convinced of it's practical use
    3. Maybe later. Comments anybody?
    4. Almost certainly not.
    5. Hmm… Not as such, but it'd be nice to have some sort of duplicate capability, such as giving the bug number of what it's a duplicate of, if not just redirecting them to the original bug

    2. Maybe not completley practical, but Im sure some would like it.
    3. Definatley I think this would be a good idea.
    4. I agree, not really needed.
    5. I think its better to have the incremental thing rather than a referenced duplication.

    This is definitely a good idea, I'm all for this.

    /me has just realised what he meant by the occurrences thing…

    My brain sure ain't working very quickly :)

    Well, that'll almost certainly be implemented.
