The Bug Genie

The Bug Genie was originally released in 2003 as an effort by Daniel Andre Eikeland, with Ray Jensen and Philip Kent making contributions post-release. It is open source software, therefore numerous others have contributed in its subsequent development. The Bug Genie has been widely used across many enterprises and organizations due to its flexibility, features, and technical capabilities. Although there are commercial applications that perform the same tasks as The Bug Genie, it is free in many cases and has been proven to be more adaptable and flexible. The Bug Genie boasts several strong features that are valued highly by project teams. Multiple workflow support allows groups to customize workflows to a specific project. It also fully integrates with existing source control technologies, allowing teams to concentrate more time for process development. The Bug Genie’s powerful command-line tool lets power users maximize scripts to get the most out of the software. Teams that use Agile processes such as Scrum or Kanban benefit from included burndowns, charts, and tracking and estimation tools that plug in with these methodologies. Many users claim that the product is easy to set up and has more advanced functional options than other bug trackers, integrates more easily with client systems, and contains better Agile reporting. The software is written in PHP, contributing to its flexibility with modern systems. It only requires 16 mb of space for it to be downloaded and set up.
