While I'm thinking about it, here are other things such a system should have: o Registered users, who can testers and/or testers o Associate submitter and assigned developer with bug o Status: "New", "Duplicate", "Not repeatable", "Open", "Awaiting testing", "Failed testing", "Closed" o Ability to see all bugs submitted by you, and assigned to you o Severity/Priority of bug (Critical, Severe, Medium, Low) o Require specifications of system used when submitting bugs - OS, Apache version etc Hmmm, looks like bugzilla does all this! http://www.bugzilla.org Any opinions? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
