Jira is\u00a0a popular bug tracking application developed by Atlassian<\/a> and used by thousands of developers. It is\u00a0used mostly by software developers and IT professionals for reporting and tracking of bugs in their projects.<\/p>\n

Because it was developed by software developers for software developers, most other professionals find Jira is difficult to use.<\/p>\n

This article is not a review of Jira, but to point to the advantage of having bug tracking as part of\u00a0a complete project management application.<\/p>\n

Our tight integration of Bug tracking and task management brings developers and quality assurance engineers to the same page to collaborate and fix bugs real fast.<\/p>\n

Better than Jira<\/h2>\n

Jira is good, but Binfire project management software is much better! Every project in Binfire has its own task manager<\/a> and bug tracking module<\/a>s. This is a big deal\u00a0if you have many projects and managing a large team.<\/p>\n

Projects\u00a0are much more than just tasks and bugs. They include team communication, document collaboration, approvals, and reports.<\/p>\n

Binfire is more than a task management or bug tracking tool. It is a complete work management application<\/a> which conforms to the way you work.<\/p>\n

Each bug has its own dashboard which makes it much easier to track the status of a bug and add more information. Priorities are set in the dashboard for each bug. \u00a0The developer\u00a0can mark a bug as “started” when starting to work on it. A tester can mark it “complete” when the bug is fixed.<\/p>\n

Binfire also has a separate robust task manager\u00a0for each project. Bugs could be attached to their related tasks. For example, if you have a task called UX, you can attach all bugs dealing with UX to that task.<\/p>\n

This feature is extremely powerful because it links bugs to tasks which are related.<\/p>\n

Another advantage of Binfire is that supports Agile, Waterfall<\/a> and Hybrid project management method<\/a>s. Jira can’t!<\/p>\n

For big projects, dependencies are instrumental in making the project manageable. Binfire supports dependencies in its task manager.<\/p>\n

In fact, Binfire has the only Kanban board in the industry which supports dependencies. There is no other Agile project management application<\/a> that can claim this.<\/p>\n

Add to the above, all the collaboration features like the message board, live chat, document collaboration and interactive whiteboard and you get a powerful project management application.<\/p>\n

We could have integrated Binfire with Jira, but we wanted to make a better tool for developers and test engineers. We strongly feel the\u00a0native integration of tasks and bugs\u00a0always works better than when features are\u00a0integrated using third party software.<\/p>\n
