Bug Tracking System

What is Bug tracking system? A bug tracking system is software that keeps track of bugs that the user encountered in any software development or in any project.

The three main functionalities of the Bug Tracking system is:

  1. Creating a new text file and writing the details entered by the user into the text file.
  2. Option to change the status of the bug.
  3. Report of specific bug file.

Now will see what are functions involved

Driver Function: The idea is to keep a variable id that stores the id of the Bugs that are registered till now. There are mainly three options out of which user can select the functionality:

  1. Create New Bug
  2. Change Status of Bug
  3. Report a Bug
  4. Exit

Switch Statements are used to Switch into the functionalities as preferred by the user.

Create a New Bug: This function will ask the user for his name, and create a new text file as a name with the id number attached to it.

For Example:

After naming the file, Take the information from the user and add it to the text file with the time of creation attached to it 

The information is taken by a user for a bug is:

  1. Bug Filed by User.
  2. Bug Type
  3. Bug Priority
  4. Bug Description
  5. Bug Status

Change Status of Bug: Take the information about the bug and change the status of the bug in the desired file. Also, update the Last Updated Time of the Bug.

Report a Bug: Take the information about the bug. Such as Bug file name and print the contents of the Bug.

Below is the implementation of the Bug Tracking System:




// C program for the Driver Function
// of the Bug Tracking System
 
#include <stdio.h>
 
// Driver Code
void main()
{
    printf("***************");
    printf("BUG TRACKING SYSTEM");
    printf("***************\n");
 
    int number, i = 1;
 
    // Id initialised to 0
    int id = 0;
 
    // while loop to run
    while (i != 0) {
        printf("\n1. FILE A NEW BUG\n");
        printf("2. CHANGE THE STATUS OF THE BUG\n");
        printf("3. GET BUG REPORT\n4. EXIT");
        printf("\n\n ENTER YOUR CHOICE:");
 
        scanf("%d", &number);
 
        // Using switch to go case by case
        switch (number) {
        case 1:
            id++;
 
            // Creating a New Bug
            filebug(id);
            break;
        case 2:
 
            // Change Status of Bug
            changestatus();
            break;
        case 3:
 
            // Report the Bug
            report();
            break;
        case 4:
            i = 0;
            break;
        default:
            printf("\ninvalid entry");
            break;
        }
    }
}
