(Disclaimer: I'm the author) It's very simple "out of the box", but also very configurable. Just for starters, you can configure the name of the app, the name of the things it tracks (items? tickets? bugs? defects? issues?), the types of things it tracks. You can not only add custom fields, but you can REMOVE fields too, so you can get it to be very simple, if that's your style.

I have been researching some bug tracking tools recently and everywhere I see, there are some recent comments about how good bugwiki is (twitter, some bug tracker comparisons etc). I look at bugwiki and it's no better than scribbling down stuff in a spreadsheet. I am not saying it's bad (everything has it's uses), but persistent comments stating how great bugwiki is, is pretty darn suspicious. Especially on a post that is a nearly a year old?

It does the few things we need it to do, and it never forces you to do this, that and the other. A timesaver compared to some of the other systems I have tried over the years. https://www.bugwiki.com My team uses BugWiki and we are pretty happy with it.

Wed, 09 Aug 2006 03:31:23 +0000 http://www.santosj.name/?p=258#comment-81 We have been having really good luck with a product called Unfuddle (<a href="http://unfuddle.com" rel="nofollow">http://unfuddle.com</a>). We had been using Trac in combination with Basecamp, and really found that Unfuddle was a far superior solution. Unfuddle provides bug and issue tracking, source control using Subversion, basic project management, time tracking, project blog, fine-grained permissions, etc. The interface is the best we have every seen in a software project management tool.

Um, 30 day trial is nice, but I really want to keep my cost down. I will continue to track the progress of wIT for when I make a little bit more money and need to assess and evaluate a better tracking tool. @Sebastien

What Achilles does differently than all the others, is integrate completely with project management, planning and time tracking.
