I just had to take a minute and write about MantisBT, a free bug tracking software application.
I’m big on hosting my own stuff and having free software. Although it’s free, I always donate when I find value in things. It’s just the way I think software should be. Software is good. One person’s work can improve the lives of dozens of people or as many as millions.
MantisBT is a free popular web-based bugtracking system (feature list). It is written in the PHPscripting language and works with MySQL, MS SQL, and PostgreSQL databases and a webserver. MantisBT has been installed on Windows, Linux, Mac OS, OS/2, and others. Almost any web browser should be able to function as a client. It is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
My experience installing it was excellent. I simply uploaded the files to my webserver, created the database through my cPanel, and walked through the installation page. In minutes, I had a robust tracking system at no cost. This thing is powerful enough for an enterprise but simple enough for a small development company.
What’s more, there is a WordPress plugin that allows you to display open tickets on a page!
If you’re looking for some tracking software with plenty of features, but easy-to-use features, then give MantisBT a look.
