BTS
{Bug Tracking System}
Bug Tracking System
A system for receiving and filing bugs reported against a
software project, and tracking those bugs until they are
fixed. Most major software projects have their own BTS, the
source code of which is often available for use by other
projects.
Well known BTS's include {GNATS}, {Bugzilla} and {Debbugs}.
GNATS
The GNU Problem Report Management System - Users who
experience problems use electronic mail, web-based or other
clients communicating with the GNATS network daemon running at
the support site or direct database submissions to communicate
these problems to maintainers at that Support Site.
{http://www.gnu.org/software/gnats/4_0_manual/index.html#SEC_Top}
Bugzilla
The web-based bug tracking system used by the {Mozilla}
project.
{http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/}
Debbugs
The bug tracking system used by the {Debian} Project. Each
bug is given a number, and is kept on file until it is marked
as having been dealt with. The system is mainly controlled by
e-mail, but the bug reports can be viewed using WWW.
