JIRA, but then differently?
Ever since working with JIRA at TomTom, I've been looking for a similar tool for my various projects. I've found a lot of tools done in PHP, but nothing so far has been equally impressing and useful as JIRA itself.
Ever since working with JIRA at TomTom, I've been looking for a similar tool for my various projects. I've found a lot of tools done in PHP, but nothing so far has been equally impressing and useful as JIRA itself. Now JIRA has an open source license, but I don't really have an open source project to present to Atlassian as the project for which I'd need JIRA. I just need it for my personal projects. And since $1200 is a bit much for a tool for some personal development, JIRA is not really an option. So here I am, asking for your help: Is there a tool very similar (preferably some type of true clone) to JIRA? It needs to work in a very similar way, and preferably be in PHP (though any other language is fine, as long as it's webbased). And it should be free, or very cheap. Anyone?November 15, 2006 - tags: technology

Brian: Actually i’m looking for something like this myself…I know Mantis (http://www.mantisbt.org/), bit think it’s a bit limited compared to JIRA.
Not sure it’s in there but something like hour management would also be a nice feature (how long did the project in total take?).

Wouter: Trac ( http://trac.edgewall.org/ ), is also getting to be quite popular, integrating wiki funtionality with issue-tracking.November 22, 2006
Jaco: What about Bugzilla?http://www.bugzilla.org/

Ken: How about BaseCamp?(http://www.basecamphq.com/)
Single user is free.
I’m also looking for a PHP based project management to use as a company tool.
I’ve seen Mantis but have not tried it. Let us know how it goes.
Also you may already know mostof them, but here is a list (http://del.icio.us/59ideas/projectmanagement)

left: Thanks all for the response.Wouter: Trac is too much developer-aimed. This system should do more. I think I can teach Jira to our “service desk”, but Trac is too much technology aimed, harder to understand.
Jaco: Bugzilla is a beast, to install and to work with. The interface is hell. I really do not like it, as you may understand
Ken: There is actually a free open source php-port of basecamp in the form of active collab (www.activecollab.com)... it’s nice, but I’m not looking at project management here, I’m looking more at issue tracking (where issue is more than bugs).

Ken: Oh I got the wrong idea.Definite NOT bugzilla!
I’m interested to know what you find.

vancouver gutter cleaning: Programmers test a program by running it and looking for bugs. As they are identified, the programmer usually makes the appropriate corrections, then rechecks the program until an acceptably low level and severity of bugs remain. This process is called testing and debugging. These are important parts of every programmer's job. Thanks.March 29, 2012
