When recording software bugs in your MantisHub bug tracker, there are several features you can make use of to assist developers in deciphering and reproducing the issue so they can get down to fixing it. You can:
- attach supporting files such as screenshots or logs,
- define custom fields to gather the right data from your users and testers.
- And there’s our popular Helpdesk plugin that allows your customer to email issues directly into your MantisHub!
All super useful tools! In some situations though, such as system crashes or intermittent behaviours picked-up by your users, it can be difficult to gather all the necessary information. What if you could also capture exactly what happened at the time of the bug? Freeze frame that moment and share it with the developer? Kinda think that would make things a little easier?
Well, that’s exactly what Bugsee does! By inserting just one line of code into your Mobile or Web App, you can capture a bunch of relevant system information and store it for review by the right people.
When a crash or bug occurs in your app, Bugsee will collect:
- Console logs,
- Network traffic communications and,
- Video screenshot of what the user was doing leading up to the crash!
And here’s where the MantisHub/Bugsee magic happens! Bugsee will then automatically create an issue within your MantisHub, in the project of your choice, linking back to all the bug details in the Bugsee dashboard. So you can assign the issue and continue to track activity and progress on it within your MantisHub! And using your MantisHub project email notifications, you can let all the relevant people know as soon as the issue occurs and when it’s resolved.
With such a high level of automation and a wealth of supporting data, your developers can get bugs fixed quicker and have more time for those fun, extra features your customers ask for :).
