Why pay for JIRA when I can use Bugzilla for free?

We've always used Bugzilla for issue/bug/enhancement tracking, but I keep thinking about switching to JIRA. However I would need to convince the boss that it's worth paying for something when a seemingly equivalent product is free of charge. So sell me! What about JIRA makes it worth paying for, compared to a free system like Bugzilla? ...

Running JIRA on a VM

Anyone have any success or failure running Jira on a VM? I am setting up a new source control and defect tracking server. My server room is near full and my services group suggested a VM. I saw that a bunch of people are running SVN on VM (including NCSA). The VM would also free me from hardware problems and give me high availability...

Using SQL for cleaning up JIRA database

Has anyone had luck with removing large amount of issues from a jira database instead of using the frontend. Deleting 60.000 issues with the bulktools isnt really feasible. Last time i tried it, the jira went nuts because of its own way of doing indexes ...

JIRA issue resolver

Hi, I'm using the standard edition of JIRA and on the whole, I love it. However, it's a frequent source of irritation that JIRA doesn't seem to record who resolved an issue, just who the current assignee is, and who reported the issue. Because the "resolver" is not recorded there's no way to find issues that I resolved, or issues that ...

JIRA SOAP API documenation?

I'm building some custom tools to work against a JIRA install, and the exposed SOAP API is great, except that none of the arguments are named. For example, the prototype for getIssue is: RemoteIssue getIssue (string in0, string in1); All of the SOAP RPC methods follow this convention, so without documentation I'm pretty hardpressed t...

How do I encourage code sharing and limit the bug tracking overhead while maintaining flexibility in my releases?

How are you tracking changes, testing effort for bugs that impact multiple artifacts released separately? Code sharing is good because it reduces the total number of paths through the code which means more impact for fewer changes and less bugs (or more bugs addressed with fewer changes). For example, we may build a search tool and an ...

Software tool for agile project management

We user JIRA for bug tracking and release management and we have started using greenhopper for project management inside of JIRA but one thing that it lacks is the idea of user stories versus tasks in those users stories. Does anyone recommend other task board like agile project management tools that fully support users stories and task...

Tracking user stories in JIRA / Greenhopper

If anyone is trying to do agile, i am trying to figure out a way to use JIRA / Greenhopper for this. We are a global dev team so the distributed nature is crucial here. We were initially using Scrumworks but the team complained that they had duplicate information in JIRA and scrumworks all the time and thought it was redundant. We got...

Bug Tracker - Feature set - Comparison

Hi, I have installed and played around with a few bug tracking apps, and just wanted to get some feedback and features that a typical (or not so typical) bug tracking software has. I want to make sure I am not overlooking a feature that might come in handy. So the biggest idea is around a bug, which is associated with: Bugs - product...

Has anyone ever used a bugtracking system with the workflow described in "Testing Computer Software"?

In the classic Testing Computer Software, Cem Kaner et al. describe a bugtracking system similar to, but subtly different from, mainstream bugtracking systems. It has all the usual fields such as reporter, steps to reproduce etc but there are two points which I find very unusual: There are three 'Severity' levels, and five 'Priority...

Are there any Jira plugins for Visual Studio?

We are switching over to SVN+Jira+VS2008 for our .NET development. Are there any plugins for Visual Studio that allow to work with Jira directly from the IDE? It would be great if it could be integrated with SVN support (we use AnkhSVN for now), although it's probably too much to ask. Google did not yield much, only some mailing lists wh...

Atlassian Crowd experiences?

we (a team of about 150) are considering moving our ALM solution from Bugzilla/CVS to Jira/svn/Confluence/Bamboo/Fisheye. SO has a lot of good info on those, but I would be interested to learn about another tool from Atlassian - a Single Sign On (SSO) Crowd, I am considering adding it to the mix for an LDAP integration with our Novell id...

Jira using enterprise architecture by OfBiz

The 'open for business project' is an enterprise framework. It so happens Jira uses this, and I was pretty shocked at how much work is involved to pull data for a particular entity (say a issue/bug in Jira's case). Imagine getting a list of all the issues, it has to first get all the columns (or properties) to display for the table col...

Can I integrate TFS with Jira and Zephyr?

My company are imposing Jira and Zephyr on us for defect tracking and test management. We're quite happily using TFS 2008 for both these jobs at the moment, but management have never let the fact that something isn't broken stop them from trying to fix it. Are there any tools/plug-ins that will allow us to synchronise between the remote...

How do I get a list of custom fields in JIRA with Perl SOAP?

I was curious if anyone else had an idea how to get a list of all of the custom fields you have created in JIRA? If so, how did you do it? I've been trying to use a Perl SOAP routine I found on JIRA SOAP service documentation, but I have no idea how to implement it. ...
