  Software Bug Tracking   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Software bug tracking allows software development team members to enter and track reported bugs or defects during a software system's development phase.
Software bug tracking is an invaluable method for the sharing of defect data between production team members who may work on a project at different hours or in different locations.
By storing bug data in a centralized database, software bug tracking ensures that all team members are informed of all reported bugs and that they do not waste time fixing duplicate problems.

 Software bug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A software bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program that prevents it from behaving as intended (e.g., producing an incorrect result).
A bug in the code controlling the Therac-25 radiation therapy machine was directly responsible for some patient deaths and in 1996, the European Space Agency's US$1 billion prototype Ariane 5 rocket was destroyed less than a minute after launch, due to a bug in the on-board guidance computer program.
Bugs are often created by typos that are not caught by the compiler.

 PR-Tracker Bug Tracking Software for Windows and the Web
Bug reports are always assigned to someone so that everyone knows what they should be doing and who is responsible for what.
People who originate bug reports are prompted for important information like what version of software a bug was discovered, what actions must be performed to reproduce the bug, and whatever else you think is important.
The way that bugs are detected is tracked and presented in a simple report so that you can easily determine which quality assurance practices give you the most bang for your software testing buck.

 Bug Free Software
The configuration and environment the program is in is part of the "software." Also, if you can show that all the configurations and environments are correct and so is the program, then you can use mathematical induction to show the software is correct provided the configurations, environments and programs' correctness aren't dependent on each other.
You cannot say you have bug free software unless you are able to quantify any given behavior as being a bug or being not a bug.
I believe the user would feel it is a bug is the software is confusing or did something other than what he expected.

 Software Bug Contributed to Blackout
A previously-unknown software flaw in a widely-deployed General Electric energy management system contributed to the devastating scope of the August 14th northeastern U.S. flout, industry officials revealed this week.
The bug in GE Energy's XA/21 system was discovered in an intensive code audit conducted by GE and a contractor in the weeks following the flout, according to FirstEnergy Corp., the Ohio utility where investigators say the flout began.
FirstEnergy says it already patched the flout bug last fall, when GE made a fix available, and is in the process of replacing the XA/21 with a competing system -- a changeover that was planned before the flout.

 Quality Software Development - Bug Tracking Systems
Further, any software development company producing quality software needs one to monitor the improvement in quality of their product as the release date approaches, manage enhancement requests, allow customers to track the progress of their requests or bug reports, etc.
However, this solution starts to fail very quickly as there is no scope to prioritize entries, monitor their status, maintain any history, etc. Once the size of the development team is more than one, you then run into the questions of who's working on what and file locking issues.

 Painless Bug Tracking - Joel on Software
The programmer can resolve the bug, meaning, "hey, I think this is done," but to actually close the bug and get it off the books, the original person who opened it needs to confirm that it was actually fixed or agree that it shouldn't be fixed for some reason.
Every build of the software that you give to testers should have a build ID number so that the poor tester doesn't have to retest the bug on a version of the software where it wasn't even supposed to be fixed.
