Are there any 3rd party bug tracking applications that integrate with TFS?
My company wants to use TFS for source control but not for bug tracking if there are any better 3rd party tools.

You can use Artifacts for bug tracking and keep it's data under TFS version control.

Thanks I'll take a look into Artifacts now. Will I be able to attribute code changes to an issue I raise in Artifact?

I don't think so. It's possible with Subversion. But TFS doesn't seem to support integration with third-party tools.

I am curious to know the reasons why your company don't want to use TFS for bug tracking, but know that you can customize work items (bugs) to reflect any process you need. I understand we don't always have time to do those type of customization though.

I am also curious! I think the perception of TFS is that it doesn't handle process-heavy issue tracking well (i.e. we currently have a fairly complex workflow for our bugs) although I'm sure that with customisation anything is possible. We currently use ClearQuest so I'll have a look now to see if I can find any info on migrating from ClearQuest to TFS for issue tracking.
