============================================================ B U G G I T W I S H L I S T ============================================================ Below is a list of new features requested by users. Any features listed here will eventually be done, but are big changes and will have to wait until the next major release sometime in late 2000 or early 2001. In the interim, we will release patches as needed (hopefully none) to fix small bugs. I want to thank all of you who have taken the time to install and use Buggit, and then to go beyond and email me with these excellent suggestions. Without your excellent input, Buggit would not have gotten this far. ----------------------------------------- WISH LIST: ----------------------------------------- 09/19/2000 ---------- - Add Questions tab just like Bugs and Features tab. For now, defer because can add as bug or feature and specify type as not a bug. Was pondering adding a knowledge base feature, but decided not to stray the focus of the app too far. - Add report to show resolution delays such as time between bug being opened and bug being resolved and bug being closed. Derive average time. - Laurence Defer for now, and use the bug history graph to understand how quickly or slowly bugs are being resolved and closed. - Add an "application", "module", and "version/release found" fields. - Laurence For now, create user defined fields to handle this, or use the "Curr Build" field to track the current build as the bug goes through its stages. - Add a "reporting person" field to the system. Include phone number and email address. - Laurence For now, create user defined fields to handle this. Make drop down lists of your own. - Ability to select what fields go onto report. - Laurence Excellent suggestion, but take too long at this time to implement. - Add a design time field to system. - Laurence Use user-defined fields for now. 09/18/2000 ---------- - Make fields on bug entry form non-editable based on user priveleges. Try to have more than two types of user priv- eleges: admin, developer, tester, and other. Suggestion by Hanne Jensen. Good one, but take some time to wire in so defer for now. - Have the ability to manage different lists of people for the "asigned to" and the "found by" drop down lists. Good suggestion for future implementation by Martin Valdez. 09/14/2000 ---------- - Add multi-language support as with TCM. If you want this functionality, please let me know so that I bump it up in priority. Email mpierce@pb-sys.com. 04/10/2000 ---------- - Add attachments feature like with TCM. Users want to be able to be able to take a screen shot of an error and save it, or output reports under test, etc. and save them with a bug. - Make an internet browser based data entry engine that plugs into the BUG_Data.mdb. I think I will defer this until VB7 with its Web Forms. I have used Web Classes in VB6 for a project at work, and do not want to use those as they are slated to morph into Web Forms. This will be a very fun project in about a year. I'll be sure to make the source code available, and make it runnable via the free MS Personal Web Server (not require IIS + NT + etc.).
