QuickBugs Windows 2.0
Bug Tracking with Event Triggered Email Notifications

Placitas, NM ? June 1, 2004 - Excel Software is pleased to announce
QuickBugs 2.0, a development tool for reporting, tracking and managing
bugs, changes and user requests. New features include highly
configurable, event-triggered email notifications, improved report
generator, streamlined workflow and new online help.

QuickBugs provides powerful, yet easy to use bug tracking. A shared XML
based repository is accessible to multiple users and projects with
assigned responsibilities, configurable access and privileges for users
on each project. Virtually everything in QuickBugs is configurable to
the organization and specific user needs including data collection
fields, workflow, views, queries, reports, security and access control.

Managers, developers, testers and others interact with a bug tracking
system, yet each has unique needs. The QuickBugs flexibility for
providing user and role specific views, queries and reports has been
extended to email notifications. Email notifications alert managers,
developers, tester and others when an event has occurred that requires
their attention. For example, developer Tom receives notifications of
bugs assigned to him on the Controller project, while tester Sue gets
notified of bugs fixed on the Console project that need to be verified.

Highly targeted email messages get generated based on specific trigger
events. Each notification event is triggered when a condition occurs
that may include any combination of field values in a bug report. A list
of users and roles can be associated with each notification event.
Roles like Manager, QA and Tester allow notifications to be easily
re-targeted as people change projects or responsibilities. To cover for
someone on a long vacation or business trip, use the carbon copy feature
to get copies of their notifications sent to you.

The built-in report generator comes with standard reports for metrics,
work assignments, status and summaries plus the ability to create custom
reports with complete control over the content and format. QuickBugs
understands the typical workflow of a bug report and provides shortcuts
that streamline the process. QuickHelp provides one key access to
contextual help for all menu commands and dialogs.

QuickBugs runs on Windows operating systems including 95, 98, NT, 2000
and XP. It is priced at $195 for a single user license, $585 for a
5-User Site License or $1170 for an Unlimited Site License at one
location. It includes context-sensitive online help, printed user's
guide and a PDF manual on CD. Product descriptions and online ordering
are available at www.excelsoftware.com. Established in 1985, Excel
Software provides Macintosh, Linux and Windows tools for software
developers around the world.
