ABSTRACT
Bug Tracking for Improving Software Reliability (BTS) is an automated system that can be useful to employees and the managers in any functional organization. Bug TrackingSystem gives the facility to define the tasks in the organization and also allows the managers to track the bugs spent by the employee for that particular task. A report generation facility is supported in BTS that allows the managers to analyze which are those skills by employee are utilized and those which are not utilized. This tool can help managers for Bug estimation per project or application. This tool helps employees to document their Bugs and analyze.
This project aims at creation of a Bug Tracking System. This project will be accessible to all developers and its facility allows developers to focus on creating the database schema and while letting the application server define table based on the fields in JSP and relationships between them
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of Bug Tracking for improving software reliability is to provide better service to the administrator or useful for applications developed in an organization. The Bug Tracking for Improving Software Reliability is a web based application that can be accessed throughout the organization. This system can be used for logging bugs against an application/module, assigning bugs to team members and tracking the bugs to resolution.
There are features like email notifications, user maintenance, user access control, report generators etc in this system.
Definition, Acronyms, Abbreviations
Bug - A software bug (or just "bug") is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program that prevents it from behaving as intended (e.g., producing an incorrect result). Most bugs arise from mistakes and errors made by people in either a program's source code or its design, and a few are caused by compilers producing incorrect code.
EXISTING SYSTEM
The existing system consists of entering the details in the Microsoft Excel Sheets for the storing of the data. When a manager needs information of the employee he searches for the specified file in the file system.
He opens the file and takes the information. Report Generation done manually by copying the content of the different files into another file. The Manually generated report was then printed.
Limitations in Existing System
• Information retrieval is a very big process.
• Lack of organization of the files may porn to information loss due to accidental deletion of files.
• No security because the files are visible to the users.
• Report generation will be a big task.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
The Proposed system is a browser which is completely related to online system, which provides the centralized database. It stores bugs data and description of the particular bug data. It can also create Excel reports and PDF documents based on the information in its database.
Advantages over Existing System
• The performance is increased due to well designed database.
• Security is increased
• Time saving in report generation
• Easy to update the details
