Bug Tracking for My Plugins

19 Jun 2004

I think I have finally settled on a bug tracking system that I can use for my plugins: GNATS

The fun thing is that I can completely customize it for use with my plugins, custom fields out the wazoo. So here is a list of fields I am thinking about putting in there. Please feel free to suggest any more you feel might be important.

  • Plugin
  • Plugin Version
  • MT Version
  • Bug Type (Bug, Feature Request, etc)
  • Severity
  • Synopsis
  • Description
  • Template Code
  • Template Output
  • Error Message
  • Possible Fix/Patch

And for the big important news about this, I am planning on writting a custom MT app/plugin that will allow a user to submit a bug to this system through their own MT interface. That will be very cool.
