'''Bugzilla''' is an open-source, general-purpose bugtracker and testing tool originally developed and used by the Mozilla project. Released as open source software by Netscape Communications in 1998, it has been adopted by a variety of organizations for use as a [[bug tracking system]] for both free and open source software and proprietary projects and products.

==Product history==

Bugzilla was originally written by Terry Weissman in 1998 for the nascent Mozilla.org project, as an open-source application to replace the in-house system then in use at Netscape Communications for tracking defects in the Netscape Communicator suite. Originally written in Tcl, Terry decided to port Bugzilla to Perl before its release as part of Netscape's early open-source code drops, with the hopes that more people would be able to contribute to it, as Perl seemed to be a more popular language at the time.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bugzilla.org/status/roadmap.html#history |title=Brief History |work=Development Roadmap |publisher=Mozilla.org |accessdate=14 March 2012}}</ref>

Bugzilla 2.0 was the result of that port to Perl and the first version released to the public via an anonymous concurrent versions system (CVS). In April 2000, Weissman handed off control of the Bugzilla project to Tara Hernandez. Under Tara's leadership, some of the regular contributors were coerced into taking more responsibility, and Bugzilla development became more community-driven. In July 2001, facing distraction from her other responsibilities in Netscape, Tara handed off control to software developer Dave Miller, who was still in charge as of 2007.<ref name="bugzilla-dev-profiles">{{cite web |url=http://www.bugzilla.org/developers/profiles.html |title=Developer Profiles |work=Bugzilla Website |publisher=Mozilla.org |accessdate=14 March 2012}}</ref>

Bugzilla 3.0 was released on May 10, 2007, bringing with it a refreshed user interface, XML-RPC interface, custom fields and resolutions, mod_perl support, shared saved searches, and improved UTF-8 support among other things.

Bugzilla 4.0 was released on February 15, 2011.

==Features==

Some of the primary features of Bugzilla for end-users and administrators include<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bugzilla.org/features/ |title=Features:Bugzilla |publisher=Mozilla.org |accessdate=14 March 2012}}</ref>:

* multiple database engine support

==Hardware/software requirements==

Bugzilla's [[system requirements]] include<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.2/en/html/installation.html |title=The Bugzilla Guide - 4.2 Release - Chapter 2. Installing Bugzilla |publisher=Mozilla.org |accessdate=14 March 2012}}</ref>
