Excel Software ships QuickBugs Windows 2.1

has released QuickBugs 2.1, a team development tool for reporting, tracking and managing bugs, changes and user requests.

QuickBugs provides powerful yet easy to use bug tracking. A shared XML-based repository is accessible to multiple users, as well as projects with assigned responsibilities, configurable access and privileges for users on each project.

Virtually everything is configurable to the organization and specific user needs, including data collection fields, workflow, views, queries, reports, security and access control.

This flexible bug tracking system operates under Windows 98 through Vista, and includes new features like enhanced e-mail notifications, Intranet-driven bug report submissions, and new online help.

QuickBugs Windows 2.1 includes a new Windows Vista-friendly installer and integrated help system. Once installed, the user can run QuickBugs from a Standard user account.

The enhanced e-mail notification system supports SMTP servers with or without password authentication of outgoing messages.

Configure QuickBugs to use your e-mail service for notifications in just minutes.

A new command allows data and configuration files to be easily moved between disk drives.

Network events that occur in a multi-user environment are automatically detected and handled. Launch QuickBugs from a company web page to automatically log in the user, open a project and present a window to enter a new bug report.

From managers, developers, testers to other users, the unique needs of each one are provided by user- and role-specific views, queries, reports and event driven e-mail notifications.

Configurable notifications alert team members when an event has occurred that requires their attention.

The built-in report generator comes with standard reports for metrics, work assignments, status and summaries.

Custom reports can be configured with complete control over the content and format.

A site license allows multiple users at one location to concurrently use the bug reporting system from any Windows computer on their network.
