FogBugz Tips, Tricks, Tools, and Tomfoolery

Friday, November 10, 2006 by Sumana Harihareswara

I've been gathering notes on some FogBugz tips and commentary from around the web.  You probably already know about the SnagIt mashup with the FogBugz screen capture tool, and the CaseDetective and DBxtra querying/filtering/reporting tools.  But we haven't yet blogged here about these:

 

Lou Franco and his team at Atalasoft query their FogBugz database to make Scrum Burndown charts.

I take this data and copy to Excel and use linear regression on the data to get an idea of how we're doing on getting the sprint done in time.  I generate the chart, and put a copy in our internal wiki, so everyone in the company can see our progress.

Don't forget: a personalized picture of the day can give you a moment of cheer.

Tony Conrad and his company, Sphere, use FogBugz among other tools to keep far-flung workers connected.

We've adopted a number of tools that keep us ticking, enabling us to maintain a fluid, nimble approach to creating a great blog discovery engine. Here are some tools we couldn't live without...

Rafe Colburn and Nick Bradbury love FogBugz RSS feeds, and want to extend the use of RSS and aggregators to integrate notifications and applications.

Now, the promised tomfoolery: Rory Becker praises FogBugz during an anti-Bugzilla rant. ("Shall we say that Bugzilla was clearly developed with the *nix style user/developer in mind.")  And here's some bug-tracking silliness.

Discuss: What else is out there?
