The on-line bug tracking & reporting solution results in higher quality localized products
Friday, March 29, 2002
Rubric, a leading localization and translation services company, has deployed its BugzNET™ on-line bug tracking and reporting solution across all of its software localization projects. BugzNET streamlines the process of housing, maintaining, reporting and sharing critical localization-related QA and testing information.
The benefits of BugzNET are numerous. For example, BugzNET offers real-time information, thus saving a localization or QA manager time, removing "friction" from the communications process, and reducing time-to-market. On-line access to a central repository of information enables real-time monitoring and reporting of project issues so the customer can make informed decisions.
The assurance of replication of solutions across all languages grows in importance with each target language added to a project. Via BugzNET, language-independent problems raised in one language can automatically be replicated across all languages or category of languages, thus saving the user from raising identical issues individually in all languages.
BugzNET offers universal access, a critical feature for global companies or companies going global for the first time. With BugzNET there is no installation of software, no stand-alone applications and no plug-ins. This eliminates corporate concerns regarding the installation and configuration of third-party software. A browser-based UI ensures universal access regardless of location for all of the customer's team members around the world.
An additional benefit of BugzNET is reduced administration time and the elimination of version control issues for the customer. All team members can be given access to the latest information. This eliminates the administrative task of forwarding information to other team members and ensures that everybody has the most up-to-date information.
Extensive filtering criteria enable the customer to customize searches. Highly specific information can be found immediately, without the need for time-consuming manual sorting. This solves the potential problem of information overload, and instead transforms project information into a tool for solid decision-making.
The BugzNET architecture provides full scalability, utilizing .NET and XML technologies. The system is native Unicode and supports an unlimited number of products and target-languages for each customer. Data portability allows for easy transfer of information into standard databases such as Oracle, MS Access, FileMaker Pro, etc.
