Issue tracking is a part of software testing life cycle. Many testers might encounter problems in tracking issue due to some factors such as tools, restrictions of the company. Some companies are using Microsoft Excel to record the issues but the problem is we cannot track the issues in real time. Sometimes it also causes a communication loss between test team and development team.
Nowadays, there are many tools to manage the software development issues such as Jira Software, Redmine, Mantis.
Today I would like to introduce “Mantis Bug Tracker”, an open-source issue tracker which is popular recently. This tool can help the tester to manage issue easily and quickly as an expert. Mantis Bug Tracker is easy to use and flexible for testing operations.
