YouTrack 6.5 Tracks Bugs Better

Are you building bug and issue tracking into your software development project? If not, you could be setting yourself up for headaches later on if the issues pile up and you have no process in place to document, reproduce, triage, and manage them. Fortunately, the Bitnami YouTrack stack can be deployed in just a few clicks to keep those bugs at bay! YouTrack is a comprehensive, browser-based bug and issue management system that just added some interesting new features with the release of its version 6.5.

Whether you work alone or manage a large development team, YouTrack can simplify your life thanks to its flexible integrations with other development and QA applications and its ability to scale up or down based on your needs.

A couple of weeks ago we wrote about how to increase collaboration between your QA and development teams and reduce revisions by integrating YouTrack with TestLink. Now with the version 6.5 update, released today in Bitnami, YouTrack adds seamless integration with your favorite development and revision control tools like GitLab and Bitbucket, a redesigned administration UI, one-click import of issues from Jira, and other helpful upgrades.

Key features and enhancements:

• JetBrains’ teamware integration
• Project Wizard
• Enhanced TeamCity integration
• Dashboard improvements: query assistance, saved searches and tag filters
• Updated workflow
• Improved iMailbox integration
• Bug-fix versions included in the license
• Mention @username notifications

New to Bitnami? You will be pleased to know that the Bitnami YouTrack stack comes with a free license for up to 10 users and can be deployed in the cloud, as a Virtual Machine, or natively with just a few clicks. You can see how easy it is by launching a one-hour YouTrack demo in the cloud, absolutely free!

Get your regressions resolved faster with TestLink and YouTrack on Bitnami

Regressions. They are costly for a company in both the need to go back and fix the code, but more importantly in the time in documenting the issue and engaging the original developer. QA and developers work on different systems to track progress towards a release, but how can these be integrated together easily to help cross this chasm?

Fortunately, Bitnami can help solve this solution with two great apps easily deployable wherever your team wants.

• Bitnami YouTrack, which is one of the leading software project management tools, developed by the great folks at JetBrains.
• Bitnami TestLink, your one-stop-shop for test plan management, managing builds and getting reports and stats on your projects.

Integrating these tools is seamless, thanks to the great instructions provided by JetBrains. After adding your credentials in TestLink, you'll immediately be able to add new issues or link existing issues from YouTrack to test executions in TestLink. In addition, you'll also be able to view a list of issues connected to the run and the current status of each one. See the screenshots below for more details.
