2014. Zoho BugTracker adds Kanban View and Free version



Zoho BugTracker has recently introduced two notable enhancements to its platform. The first enhancement is the Kanban View, which presents bugs as visual cards organized into different columns. Each column represents a specific bug status, such as Open, In progress, or To be tested. Users can conveniently move bugs from one column to another by dragging and dropping them, following the defined workflow. Moreover, Zoho BugTracker now offers a free subscription plan tailored for small teams. This plan includes 1 Project, 10 MB of storage space, Project Feeds, Issue Tracking, Forums and Documents, CSV import, and user management. It enables small teams to access essential features and functionalities at no cost. Additionally, Zoho BugTracker has been integrated into the free version of Zoho Projects, a project management application. This integration provides users with the combined capabilities of bug tracking and project management within a single platform, promoting collaboration and streamlining workflows.


2011. Zoho launched SaaS bug-tracker



About a year ago Zoho added the bug-tracking module to its project-management service Zoho Projects. But the trouble with this module was that it was available only in the most expensive version of the service, which costs $699/year. Now Zoho launches a separate service Zoho BugTracker. "Finally, they wake up!" - most developers will say now and start testing the service. They will be even more delighted when find out that Zoho BugTracker provides the interface on their native language (16 languages supported), integrated with the popular free project hosting GitHub, integrated with Google Docs, fully integrated with Email (for notifications, and adding bugs), contains forum, file storage, activity streams, custom workflows, custom fields, custom views and reports. However, the positive will be finished when the developers take a look at the price. ***
