Overall Satisfaction with Bugzilla

Bugzilla was used by the QA department when we tested the Remedy application and logged the defects/issues found during the testing.
  • Bugzilla was used to log the issue from customers, internal code error and other environmental issues.
  • It helps to track the issue, progress the issue and monitor the issue for long run.
  • It is very strength full tool I think.
  • It is very friendly user and nice to have it.
  • I think you should compare the defect module structure with Quality Center Defect module and structure and modify according to it.
  • Positive - It is very user friendly and easy to manage.
  • No negative but its not an advanced level tool as compared to Quality Center Defect module.
Bugzilla is easy to learn, easy to use and track and has an affordable price.
It is easy to use and affordable.
It is very suitable for beginners and a firm smaller than 1000 employees.
