Any bug tracking addin for Visual Studio?

I don't want a fancy bug tracking suite. Sometimes I am working on projects/tools for myself, and I just want to keep track of any bugs, features, etc.. as I go along.

I need to generate changelog from Trac for a specific version as XML and then process it with a custom XSL.

Reading the documentation page of BugTracker.NET BugTracker.NET API Documentation I realized that I need to use GET or POST which, I have to admit, I'm not very good at.

Tracking requirements across multiple projects with JIRA (or other tools)

My company has been using JIRA as a requirements tracking tool as well as a bug tracker, and it's been working pretty well while we've been working on one project at a time. We now have a scenario where we have three different project proposals whose requirements partially overlap (e.g. requirement 1 applies to projects A and B, require...

What's a good ticketing system for Windows+SVN?

Anyone have a ticketing system they like and recommend for developers in a Windows environment? Note, we're not using TFS. We're using Tortoise Subversion. We're in a Windows environment.

Free alternative to TFS work item

Hi I'm looking for a free way to automate builds and manage work items (including bug-tracking) for a small open-source team (mostly myself and 1 to 3 other developers). I checked many products and for now, the best I could found was TeamCity but this tool doesn't seem to have work item management (tasks, bugs, requirements etc). I use...

How to make sure bug fixes in a version branch in Subversion are merged into the trunk

We are managing our software versions as branches in Subversion. The latest upcoming release is the trunk. Older released versions are a branch (also tagged per build and release).

Improving Work Procedures - Programmer To Developer Woes

I finally plucked up the courage to go and formally complain to the heads about my boss. What's really scary is that the claims I have made are serious enough to be taken to the CEO in a couple of weeks. I've been asked today to procure some documents referring to some points I have outlined and wanted some real-world developer input o...

What would you want in a self-hosted project support/information web app?

My next project will be a lightweight PHP alternative to Trac, since Trac is often confusing to install and is often a little too big or feature-rich for smaller project.

Trac to Bugzilla Migration?

Any tips, scripts, or other artifacts that will make importing data from a Trac instance into a Bugzilla instance less work? We have a modified Bugzilla, so it's likely that importxml.cgi won't be a good choice. Even if that were available, then the problem becomes "how to map Trac data to Bugzilla data." As icky as it might be, I thi...

How to backup your data with hosted issue tracking?

I'd like to use a hosted issue-tracking service, but I want to be able to backup my data in case the service goes under. Are there any hosted issue-tracking services that have a "data liberation" strategy and support you periodically copying your issue-tracking data to your local system? If not, does anyone have a clever workaround for...

What categories and custom attributes do you use in you bug tracker ?

This one has been bugging me for a while now, but I never seem to be satisfied with the way the bug categories are defined in our bug tracker. It always seems like 90% of bugs go to "General" and 2/3 of the categories never get used. How do you organize/categorize the bugs in your bugtracker? Edit: I'm starting a new project on an ASP...

I'm a small developer in VB6 and VB.net, and use for bugtracking a simple Excel. Seemed to me that I didnt need anything more. I've wanted to add links to the code.

Best solution for integrated bug tracking, wiki and version control

I love the Google Project Hosting web app. It includes bug tracking, wiki and SCM in one interface. (Example: WMD Editor) This solution is closed source and not for sale. While searching similar solutions I found Trac which has a rougher interface. Could you list similar solutions? Someone asked the same question, but specified Git as...
