Enhancement of Bug Tracking Tools; the Debugger

In this paper test documentation and effort estimations have been investigated as well as Bug Tracking Tools. Four different existing Bug Tracking Tools have been compared with each other along with their features and drawbacks. Then a new one, the Debugger has been proposed. Testing is one of the most important tasks in developing any software. According to the experts, time and money play the crucial role in testing process, if someone wants to reduce the cost of developing a new project, he should take care of testing. In order to do this, documenting the test results could help the developer to classify them in different categories such as different process models and different types of errors in each developing life cycle phase, then by having these classified results, it would be easy to estimate the future test cases in order to reduce the cost of testing phase and eventually developing cost in similar upcoming projects.
