About TestTrack
TestTrack is a bug tracking tool for Macintosh- and Windows-based software and hardware development. TestTrack automates the tedious and error-prone process of tracking bugs and feature requests by hand. It also eliminates the need to create a custom solution using general purpose database tools such as 4D‚Ñ¢ and FileMaker Pro‚Ñ¢.
TestTrack links engineers, testers, managers, even tech writers together so no one falls out of the loop. Team members are notified automatically when defects are assigned to them, guaranteeing communication and ensuring efficient work flow.
TestTrack includes a powerful filtering feature to see only the information of interest to you. For example, create a filter to list only high-priority problems. Create another to list only feature requests for the next release.
Do you want to know who reported the most bugs, how many are still open, or how much time a user spent fixing bugs? This information and more is just a click or two away. How about a bug's history—who found, fixed, and verified it—all of the details are available.
TestTrack makes reporting easy too—just point, click, print and read. Customize reports to list what you want to see. Save reports in a variety of file formats.
TestTrack is ideal for all Macintosh developers—from consultants to commercial software and hardware developers.
About Solo Bug
Solo Bug is a stand-alone bug reporter that is included with TestTrack 1.6 to help you automate receiving bugs and feature requests from customers and beta testers. Solo Bug is available for Macintosh, and Windows 3.1, 95, and NT. A few of Solo Bug's features include the following:
• Solo Bug remembers your customer's computer configuration and contact information so they do not have to re-enter it every time they send you a bug report.
• Solo Bug allows you to attach a file to the bug report — something you can't do with web-based bug reporting solutions.
• Solo Bug allows you to create a collection of bug reports that can be submitted later via e-mail.
• TestTrack 1.6 can monitor a folder for Solo Bug files to allow a truely automated bug submittal process.
• You can drag Solo Bug files directly into TestTrack 1.6's bug list window to load them into your bug database.
• TestTrack 1.6 allows you to modify Solo Bug's fields to include your list of products, components, etc. and your bug reporting terminology.
• The Solo Bug file format is available so you can create web pages or embed functionality in your applications to create Solo Bug files. Contact Seapine Software to obtain this document.
Solo Bug is an exciting addition to TestTrack!
