Issue tracking also provides a way to get metrics such as how many total bugs
there are, how many crash bugs there are, which developers are fixing the most
bugs, and so on. So not only does issue tracking provide a clear list of tasks on an
individual-by-individual basis, it also allows for large-scale statistics of how the
project is progressing. If it's late in the project and there still are more bugs com-
ing in than being fixed, it likely means the release date needs to be delayed.
Many open source hosting platforms also provide issue tracking, including
GitHub. So if you encounter a bug in one of the code samples from
Chapter 13
host, you can use one of several other standalone programs, including Bugzilla
(
www.bugzilla.org
)
and Trac (
http://trac.edgewall.org
)
