FAULT TRACKING SYSTEM

ABSTRACT


Fault Tracking System is aimed at providing the Tracking System of the bugs generated in software, maintenance of the bug levels, fixing of the Bugs by the developers or programmers inside the organization, the status of the bugs etc. It also provides ways to view the Bug priorities and assigned levels to the bug identified and yet accordingly for the bug status..

The Bug priorities are maintained in the form of filters and those filters are created according to the user level or Administrator level depending upon the status organized. Reports are now and then produced to maintain the functionality of the System.

Introduction


The objective of this project is to build a tool for the maintenance of bugs involved in the software production. Based on the performance of each programmer in terms of bugs, the appraisal value must be calculated. It also automates the process of manually handling the status and critical evaluation of bugs and its priorities.

Problem Statement
Fault tracking system is aimed at providing the tracking system of bugs generated in the software, maintenance of bug levels, and fixation of bugs by the developers in the organization, the status of the bugs etc. It also provides way to view the bug priorities and assign levels to theidentified bugs and yet according to the bug status. The bug priorities are maintained in the form of filters and those filters are created according to the user level or administrator level depending on the status organized.

Conclusion


This proposed system enables the bug maintenance easier and eliminates the chaos involved in the complexities of tracing a bug within a project team. Performance appraisal can be done based on the performance criteria fixed by the organization and provisions are provided to evaluate the efficiency of programmer under various circumstances.

Future Enhancement


Different kind of statistical data can be fetched from the database and the results can be presented in the form of reports. Request for password changes can be automated so that the indication need not be done manually for the given point of time. The employee details within an organization can be centralized. It enables the employers to gather information about an employee from anywhere within the organization.
