Description
There is no such thing as a bug-free IT project. Because bugs are a fact of IT project life, IT project managers must articulate a process for identifying, tracking, and handling the bugs that will inevitably occur. In addition, because technical and business requirements change frequently, IT project managers must also plan to log and track requests for new features and functionality.
Read the following linked documents:
- "Visual Studio - Manage Bugs": This article describes the process of tracking bugs in Visual Studio, a popular .NET development suite created by Microsoft®.
- "What Is a Bug and Issue Tracking Tool?": This article describes the process of tracking bugs in Jira, a popular bug tracking and project management tool created by Atlassian.
Create a 3-page Microsoft® Word document of a bug tracking process for the project you created in the individual assignments in Weeks 2 and 3. Be sure to differentiate between bugs and feature requests. For this assignment, you will only be tracking bugs.
Your tracking process must include:
- Description of software you propose using for bug tracking (in-house developed or third-party)
- Description of issues that will be considered bugs (vs. feature requests)
- Description of who will use the system to track bugs
- Description of who will monitor the system, follow up with the requestor as necessary, and implement the bug fixes
- Description of bug-related information (such as a unique tracking number, description, assignee, etc.) necessary to identify, fix, and log bugs
Submit your completed document.

Introduction
The project aims to develop an Android application that would give caregivers a better
way to monitor their patients. The app will be designed to collect sensory data from the patient
using wearable sensors. Bugs in programming are problems that need to be fixed (Banjo, 2017).
Bugs are a fact in Information Technology (IT) projects. Features, on the other hand, are
capabilities of software that are beneficial (Microsoft, 2018). A key goal of an IT project
manager and developers is to try as much as possible to eliminate bugs that may hinder the
proper functioning of an application and ensure that all necessary features are in place. Several
programs have been developed to aid in the tracking and management of bugs (Banjo, 2017).
The tools help remind developers about the problems that need to be fixed. Such a software
program will be utilized in this project.
Proposed Bug Tracking Software
A bug tracking software developed by a third-party will be used to track and manage
bugs throughout the project. One reason for selecting a third-party program is that several such
programs in the market are very effective in the tracking and management of bugs. A second
reason is that developing an i...
