Bughound Bug Tracking Software

Overview

Bughound is a secure, web-based bug recording and tracking software designed for testing and verifying product functionality. The project is a scaled-back version of a previous product developed for a company in Bellevue, WA. Its primary purpose is to serve as a common basis for testing on a reasonable scale, focusing on correctly delivered functionality through black-box testing.

Key Features

• Bug Reporting: Create, edit, and update bug reports for multiple products via a web browser interface.
• Relational Database: Store error report content in relational tables, accessible via SQL queries.
• Search Functionality: Search for bugs based on multiple fields to facilitate efficient bug tracking.
• Data Management: Manage information related to programs, releases, functional areas, employees, and more.
• Security: Secure access with an authorized user login is required for accessing & managing bug reports.

Technologies Used

• Frontend: React.js, HTML/CSS, JavaScript.
• Backend: Django, Python, SQL.
• Database: MySQL.
• API Testing: Postman.
