Abstract
Bug tracking is defined as a procedure of tracking reported software bugs of any product of an organization. While developing any product or software, there are chances of bug occurrences. Keeping track of these bugs/issues manually is not feasible. At the same time, it is also important to keep a detailed record of the bug fixing information, such as the person who fixed the bug, the time of bug fixing, etc. Such information will help developers to resolve similar issues if they occur in future. Therefore, developing a tool for bug tracking is essential. Using a web based bug tracking system would not only satisfy the company needs of bug tracking, but would also facilitate the discussion and problem solving among teams at different locations. Tools such as JIRA, Redmine, and so on are used by many organizations for bug tracking. However, issues such as high cost, unrequired features, non-user friendly interface might create hassle for small start-up companies. The free tools available usually contain advertisements and require installation of unnecessary software.This results in waste of memory space and creates potential security problems. Attackers could possibly leverage such free tools to conduct attacks towards the host machine. The purpose of this project is to develop a tool which is user-friendly, inexpensive, advertisement free, and secure for start-up organizations. The proposed bug tracking system is user friendly, easy to install, and light-weight. It has low system requirement. Cryptography technique has been used for encrypting some fields of issues to protect the information credentiality. In addition, customized version can be developed given specific features required by organizations.
