Best Free Bug/Issue Tracking Software

News & General Discussion

Hi,

I have a small team and we are working on a game in Unity. We use BitBucket.org for our remote repository… it has a built in web-based Issue Tracker, but I am finding it leaves a lot to be desired. Can any of you point me towards some free Bug Tracking tools that you have used and recommend?

I can’t point you towards anything free, but Jira only costs $10 for a 10 person starter license.

It’ll be ten of the best dollars you’ve ever spent.

Team foundation services (microsoft hosted tfs) is free for small teams.
You’ll need visual studio of a certain edition level to connect to it (i assume pro or higher?)

How about Mantis? It’s free.

5

Redmine. It is free and connects to SVN.

6

Try asitrack. It’s clean and simple and it’s free for up to 10 users.

+1 for JIRA here.

Redmine is really good. The best thing about it is, that it has forums, wiki, files database, version control repository browser etc. built in. That makes it a perfect HQ.

If you only need an issue tracker, I can just suggest you YouTrack. It is keyboard-centric and very easy to use. Installation is pretty easy: just start the jar-package on your server, everything else is automatic. You can see a demo of it at Jetbrain’s own tracker.

What about Bugzilla?

Depends what you need - check out Podio though, it’s not so much a bug tracking system - more an app framework. We use it for all of our bug/task management.

Check out www.trello.com, it’s a web based storyboard/card tool. It’s great for keeping track of tasks using draggable cards, and you can click on cards and comment on them, highly recommend it!

Hi!
I’m working on a bug tracker that is fully integrated into Unity.
It’s called Dungbeetle.

Let me highlight a few advantages:

  • Bug reports show up in a bug tracker in Unity, not you email inbox or a web page.
  • It doesn’t require any external backend. It uses SQLite by default, but can be configured for MySQL.
  • Bug reporting is super intuitive when integrated. (Two example scripts included).
  • Inclusion of arbitrary attachments in bug reports is trivial.
