Bug Pad makes it easy to see exactly which work items you are interested in with dynamic filters, and allows you to save any filter for later use. Arrange your hierarchy of folders to suit your development process, then allow each user to create their own filtered views so they can manage their work items any way they want. Bug Pad now also comes as a Visual Studio add-in for complete convenience.
Take Control with customizable rules and fields
While Bug Pad allows your users to view and access work items in whichever way works for them, you can create rules that make sure your process is always followed exactly as you need. The rules are applied every time a work item is edited to make sure your procedures for working with them are followed. In version 2.0 you can also add, re-label and hide work item fields giving you complete control over the information that can be entered.
Access and update the work item database while offline.
Bug Pad allows you to access the work item database while offline from your laptop or home PC, and easily synchronize your changes. It is a simple matter to synchronize your laptop when you are connected to the work item database. If you want to synchronize with a machine that is not regularly connected, you can do so by creating a synch file and transferring it Between Locations. In either case, any changes you have made while offline will be propagated to the master database, and any changes other users have made will be copied to you local database. Any conflicts where someone else has edited the same work item as you will be brought to your attention and you can see and compare both changes.
Bug Pad is Free
Whether using Bug Pad with a SQL Server database and hundreds of users, or with a local file for personal use, there are no license fees for Bug Pad. It is free for all users, personal or corporate. There are no ads, nags, or limitations.
