another web-based bug tracking application
Jesse is posting a nice series (if you’re into asp.net anyway) on building a web application - unfortunately, the example he’s giving is yet another web-based bug tracking application.
The problem is that his series is too good - I have this sort of terrible fear that in the next few years we’re going to see a proliferation of these “intern made” bug tracking systems that don’t integrate with crap, even though it all seems like it’s oh so possible.
Please, please - pick a different app next time. There’s plenty of really awesome bug tracking applications out there. Frankly, the world doesn’t need many more of those. What they need - what would be FAR better - is some good test case management software. Try that one! It’s a real pain… And the best in open source test case management is lacking much competition… give them a run for their money. We could use the competition there.
