Ticketing/tracking system with Subversion integration?

Question

My company uses StarTeam for source control and CR management, but I would really like to switch to Subversion for source control. For those of you that know ClearQuest and ClearCase, StarTeam has the ability to create tickets, which can later be associated with code changes.

Are there any similar products that integrate nicely with Subversion (preferably free, but I'm not necessarily against the idea of a commercial app)? I played around with trac a while back, but I wasn't overly impressed with it.

Answer 1

Jira integrates well, with a little effort, with Subversion.

Using Bamboo together with Subversion and Jira can help integrate your whole release management cycle - See A good strategy for implementing a versioning system

Answer 2

Looking at DZone it appears that assembla may fit your needs. I haven't used it myself but it does integrate Subversion, Tickets and project management into one package.

Answer 3

FogBugz also integrates with SVN, although it is not free.

Answer 4

I just set up this combination:

• Subversion hosted on DreamHost (my domain)
• Fogbugz OnDemand - startup edition (free for 2 users only)
• Fogbugs <--> Subversion integration - FogBugz have ready post-commit hook scripts, you just have to put it into right place in your Subversion repository

It lets me add Fogbugz case number through Tortoise SVN and then I can see code changes from FogBugz.

I installed Redmine a week ago. It's quite similar to Trac but written in ruby on rails and with a better theme and with some nice ajax features (right clicking issues brings up an menu where you can change a bunch of things for that specific issue.) It integrates perfectly with Subversion and you can configure it to react to keywords (issues) in a svn-commit and connect those commits to a specific issue ID.

I'm happy with it so far!

Answer 6

We use Redmine & Beanstalk at my company, and we're happy with them so far.

We evaluated Trac, Bugzilla, Mantis, Lighthouse and Redmine (FogBugz wasn't an option due to the incredibly high price), and decided that we like Redmine the best.

Answer 7

All the leading bug tracking systems integrate with Subversion so that the Subversion revisions can be associated with the issue.

BugTracker.NET (free)
FogBugz (commercial)
Jira (commercial)
Mantis (free)
RedMine (free)
Trac (free)

A question to ask:
Do you want to host it or have it hosted for you? If you want it hosted for you, then add to the list:
Lighthouse (commercial)
Assembla (commercial)

You can also find hosted solutions for FogBugz, Jira, and Trac.

Or do you prefer to run the app in-house, and maybe even customize the code? Then go with a free open source alternative that's built on a technology you are comfortable with.

Answer 8

I'm also using Trac for several projects but I'm in the process of switching to Redmine.

Redmine handles multiple projects and sub-projects right out of the box and overall seems "nicer" than Trac.

Both have integration with subversion so it's a matter of determine the features you really need and the backend language you might already have available (Trac runs on Python, Redmine on Ruby on Rails).

Answer 9

Our Bitnami project website provides free one-click installers for a number of open source projects that include integration with Subversion and all the dependencies that are needed to run (Ruby on Rails in the case of Redmine, Python in the case of Trac and so on). The installers are self-contained (they won't touch your system) and take literally minutes to install (or uninstall) so you can easily "test-drive" Redmine, Mantis, Trac, etc.

Answer 10

At work we use redmine and are very pleased with it...

Integrating it with subversion is really a no brainer...

Answer 11

Redmine rules.

I know Assembla offers Free Subversion hosting and integrates tools like bug tracking (they call it ticketing)
