27% of Software Testing Groups Don't Use a Bug Tracker
New Data Research by Testuff Shows That 27% of Test Management Tool Users Rely on Email as a Bug Tracker. Paid Solutions FogBugz (Fog Creek) and Jira (Atlassian), Next on the List With 20% and 16%
TEL AVIV, Israel, February 24, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Testuff Ltd. (http://www.testuff.com), a provider of on-demand services
for managing and executing manual and automation software tests, and for
reporting defects, has today released a series of bug tracker tools usage
statistics, based on information found on the company's large database.
In the data research the company holds, some interesting, and perhaps
even surprising, numbers were found. One notable statistic is no doubt the
percentage of users who are still working with their Email application as
a bug tracking solution. Unlike the common belief, it seems that many
users in the testing industry choose to work with a test management system,
even before they have a bug tracker.
The industry's belief that - in a company's tools selection process -
the bug tracker is selected prior to the test management tool, is therefore
untrue for over 1/4 of users.
According to Testuff Ltd's findings, the two other top solutions on the list
are the paid solutions FogBugz and Jira, with 20% and 16% of users opting for
these respectively. Only then do the open source solutions (and other paid
solutions) appear, with the highest reaching only about 1/3 of these numbers.
This is quite surprising, as many of the open source solutions have a high
profile online presence, and it was thought that they capture a larger
audience than the data now shows.
One possible explanation for this, is the fact that for many, these
open-source solutions are not free, as they are serviced as hosted solutions.
Another conclusion to be drawn from the data is that SaaS solutions are
favoured by bug tracker users more than before, following the global SaaS
trend.
