Using FogBugz with Gibraltar
Gibraltar works with FogBugz to provide an elegant, streamlined workflow for finding
and fixing bugs in your applications. Every error can be automatically reported
and intelligently processed. FogBugz cases are opened only for application versions
you care about and each case assigned the appropriate project, area and priority
to match your FogBugz-based.
Closed-Loop Software Development
Closed loop software development means having a complete cycle from inception, design,
development, deployment and in-the-field management with continuous feedback. Without
automated fault logging, you have not closed the loop in terms of
building and managing deployed software.
FogBugz is a flexible and powerful tool that brings focus to projects and enables
software teams to collaborate effectively. Gibraltar provides a reliable feedback
loop ensuring that execution errors have visibility and can be appropriately prioritized
and scheduled along with other development activities.
Gibraltar goes far beyond basic error reporting of exceptions and stack traces to
provide a complete infrastructure for creating and maintaining a customer experience
improvement program.
Gibraltar provides...
Detailed contextual information leading up to each error
- Configuration (memory, processor, locale, timezone)
- Version (O/S, .Net framework, application, assemblies)
- Metrics (perf counters, feature usage, method execution profiling)
- Events (trace, console, plus
integration with various popular logging frameworks)
Configurable processing rules can be changed without redeploying your application
- Treat errors from production releases differently from developer builds
- Change the processing rules for old versions once a new release is published
- Assign errors from different applications to different people
Intelligent handling of multiple error occurrences
- Lots of details included in the case summary when a new error is first detected
- Doesn’t clutter the case with redundant details on subsequent occurrences
- Links each error to all the sessions in which that error occurred
- Once an error is marked resolved, additional occurrences are ignored for that build
- If a “fixed” error shows up again in a later build, the case is reactivated
Easy and Affordable
No changes are required to FogBugz, not even installing a plug-in. And Gibraltar
can be easily integrated with your applications through code, XML or even a configuration
wizard.
