Quadcap Bug Database

Quadcap Software

Included with QED Web Server Edition is a Web-based bug-tracking application, the Quadcap Bug Database.

Usage

To access the bug application, direct your browser to the appropriate URL, e.g:

http://host:8080/programs/bugs/index.html

Login

The initial screen is a login page.

Bug List/Search

After login, the menu frame on the left updates to show the various functions available, depending on the privilege level of the user. The default page that users start in after login is the Bug Search page:

Click on a column heading to get the bugs sorted based on that column.

Saved Queries

The Query Textform at the top allows you to enter a raw query, which is used to form the WHERE clause for the query. Example queries might be:

owner = 'Eileen'
Priority = 'P1'
Priority = 'P1' and state = 'Active' and owner = 'Stan'

The Query Name drop-down allows you to select from a list of pre-formed queries.

The Save Current Query As: form allows you to save the current contents of the Query Text form as a named query that will then appear in the Query Name select list.

Bug Details

Clicking on a bug id opens up a page that displays the detailed history of the bug.

Bug Editing

With appropriate privileges, you can modify the bug. You can modify the priority, owner, state, etc. You can also add comments or other information. Each time the bug is modified, the changes are logged and displayed as part of the bug history, so you can easily see who changed the bug state, what they did, and when.

Submit Bugs

The Submit New Bug link opens up a form where information about a new bug can be entered. Any user can submit bugs.

User Management

Administrators can display the registered users, and can add new users.

Existing users' properties can be modified in the User Management page (again, for Administrators only).

Project Management

Administrator can also work with the list of projects, and assign projects to users. By default, bugs reported against a project are assigned to the user who owns the project.
