Bugzilla is a general-purpose bug-tracking tool originally developed and used by the Mozilla Foundation. Since Bugzilla is web-based and can be considered both free software and open-source software, it is also the bug tracking tool of choice for many projects, both open source and proprietary.
Bugzilla relies on an installed web server, such as Apache, and a database management system, such as MySQL or PostgreSQL, to perform its work. Bugs can be submitted by anybody, and will be assigned to a particular developer. Various status updates for each bug are allowed, together with user notes and bug examples.
Bugzilla's notion of a bug is very general; for instance, mozilla.org and wikipedia.org use it to track feature requests as well.
Requirements
Release notes such as those for Bugzilla 2.20.1 indicate the exact set of dependencies, which include:
- A compatible database server (often a version of MySQL)
- A suitable release of Perl 5
- An assortment of Perl modules
- A compatible web server such as Apache or IIS (though any web server that supports CGI can work)
- A suitable mail transfer agent such as Sendmail, qmail, Postfix, Exim or any SMTP server
