Best freeware defect tracking software for Windows?

Question

I'm looking for a freeware defect tracking solution. I have experience with Mercury Quality Center, but I hear that comes with a five-digit pricetag. I need something for my personal projects. Webforms (i.e. ASP.NET) would be preferrable. Anything good out there?

Answer 1

You can use bugzilla it is open source and alot of project use it.

Answer 2

If its to be used solely by you, you can get a Fogbugz account for free. But it only allows up to 2 users while still being free.

I'm currently using it with a friend for my senior project

Answer 3

I really like Mantis. It's not quite as powerful as Bugzilla, but you can easily get it running and configured how you like it fairly quickly.

Answer 4

I don't like BugZilla, it's very powerful but has an horrible user interface. I'd recommend Mantis or Trac. Nothing in ASP.NET in my basket.

Answer 5

Jira also has a personal licence available. It is not asp.net based, but it installs easily enough, and since you aren't going to be developing on it, the technology it is build with should not matter much.

Trac is an option that is free regardless of the number of users. If you use subversion, Trac has nice integration with it.

Answer 6

I am with the Mantis supporters. We adopted it on our team to migrate off of a very old version of TeamTrack, and we have been very impressed. However, we were very close to using Trac instead.

And Jira, boy if we were only given the money to buy it, we would have used that in a heartbeat. Out of all the issue trackers I reviewed, none came CLOSE to the fluidity and flexibility of JIRA while still supporting the basic functionality really well.

I'm partial to Eventum by MySQL. Free, lightweight, highly configurable and I've used it in almost all my projects : http://bit.ly/6GAlOy
