What is Bugzilla Cloud Hosting?

Bugzilla Cloud hosting server software is a “Defect Tracking System” that was created and designed as a way to help companies manage software development by tracking defects or “bugs” as they build and test their product. The flexibility in Bugzilla allows for individuals or groups of developers to effectively keep track of bugs in their product that are still outstanding so that they know where to focus their efforts.

Too often in the development process, bugs will be missed due to a lack of communication and organization, but Bugzilla’s ability to track and highlight defects until they are taken care of means that a problem will be difficult to miss. With Bugzilla, you can track defects and changes to the code, improve communication between teammates, submit patches and review them, and conduct and manage quality assurance.

Numerous companies have found that Bugzilla is a powerful tool that helps them in a number of areas, including systems administration, IT support queues, deployment management, bug tracking (in both hardware and software), and chip design and development problem tracking.

Businesses that have decided to try Bugzilla report that they have experienced:
